Have you heard of the "Kankore 's meteorology"?

The cause of the event begins with a mistake :

Kiyotaro Araki is a research fellow at the Meteorological Institute of the Japan Meteorological Agency, which studies clouds and the atmosphere. He studies clouds that bring heavy rain, Snow storms and tornadoes, as well as their structure and physics, to help prevent and mitigate atmospheric disasters. But then one day, while googling "Cirrus, " he discovered the resulting image is dominated by another unknown force.

Mr. Araki, who was confused asked on Twuitter, "Oh? Google tells me this is a cirrus? "Who is this CIRRUS cloud, everybody? "

Eager Netizens rushed over to explain to Mr. Araki that this was a popular game in Japan whose named Kantai Collection."Cirrus" , a Japanese destroyer during World War II.

After learning about the game of the Kantai Collection, Mr. Araki had a whim, combining the anime of the world with his own profession, and started a science game.

"Kankore's meteorology"

Isn't it excited that your wives will show up?

Today Mr. Araki brings us three characters as rosy clouds, cloud-dragon, cirrus, which are relevant knowledge of meteorology-related topics.

cirrus

This is "Cirrus" , a kind of cloud:

This is the KanKore's "Cirrus":

Well... It seems that two cirrus clouds are not so different, no wonder it will be confused! Mr. Araki gave an explanation of what he knew as "Cirrus"

[Kankore's meteorology-Cirrus] So talk about cirrus clouds. The cirrus cloud is a cloud composed of minus 10 degrees of ice particles at a height of 10 km above the atmosphere. Although it's cold, it also flows with the wind and is very cute. When the morning glow and sunset glow, the crimson cloud will sprout and become blushing. Cirrus clouds generally feel like feathers, but they are not messy clouds. The cirrus clouds produced by the cumulonimbus clouds are very thick during the warm weather. It is highly probable that rain clouds will develop in areas where it is raining. The radar can confirm this by knowing that it is not raining.

[Kankore's meteorology-Cirrus] Cirrus clouds are also formed along jets of air above, called jet clouds. The cirrus clouds will have an orthogonal tangent along the direction of the jet stream, which looks very interesting from the satellite imagery.

[Kankore's meteorology-Cirrus]This is an image search result of "Cirrus". In this, there is only one picture that is really "cloud". I am obviously looking for cirrus clouds in the cloud. The result is overwhelming...

rosy clouds

[Kankore's meteorology-Rosy Clouds] (The meaning of Japanese is "fog" and "haze.")Rosy Clouds is not a meteorological term. It is a white suspended particle that can be seen in the air. Visible below 5km in the atmosphere is called smoke or mist. It looks completely white because the suspended particles are scattered to form visible light, and the cloud looks white in the same way.

[Kankore's meteorology-Rosy Clouds]The reason that people like Rosy Clouds is that it can tell us about the pollution of the atmosphere, so I think it is very kind. When air pollution and air pollution happens, there will be clouds in the air. Since Rosy Clouds told us, we will wear masks to deal with it.

The result of the search for "Rosy Clouds" is overwhelming:

Cloud dragon

Your picture of the Cloud Dragon:

This is a Cloud Dragon Battleship:

[Kankore's meteorology- Cloud Dragon]Although the text is not the same as (Cloud Dragon), it should be a "cloud drop." Clouds are made up of countless tiny particles, with liquid "clouds" and solid "ice particles." Under normal circumstances, the radius of cloud droplets is about 0.01 mm, and the falling speed is about 1 cm/s. There are many such upwelling streams in the atmosphere.

[Kankore's meteorology- Cloud Dragon] Clouds have a variety of growth processes within the cloud. With the changes in the water's shape, they collide with each other. Among them, large falls into the ground and turn into rain. Ice is frozen, and unfrozen is warm rain.

[Kankore's meteorology- Cloud Dragon]Cold rain and warm rain are also affected by surface air temperature. The basis of meteorology is whether or not ice is added during the growth process. Since most of Japan's rain is cold, it's interesting to think about the cloud that grows in the clouds when it rains.

[Kankore's meteorology- Cloud Dragon]The charm of cloud droplets is that when it happens there is a very important particle in the atmosphere called "aerosol". Aerosols form a "nucleus," which is the "condensation nucleus" when cloud droplets are generated. Without this nucleus, cloud droplets cannot be formed without high water vapor content (humidity 400%).

[Kankore's meteorology- Cloud Dragon]The clouds will only appear with the help of the invisible particles (cloud core). It is praiseworthy. In the natural world, because the cloud core is very rich, it can help many things. In fact, the exhaust gas of the aircraft will also form a path cloud. There is a feeling of cheering for it.

Well, in the end, Mr. Araki said his search for "Cloud Dragon" might have looked something like this:

Besides these three, Mr. Araki has done it.The meteorological knowledge of many of the other roles of the ship. You can follow the Mr. Araki on the Twitter.

By the way , do you like the Mr. Araki's science game? I am very grateful what Mr. Araki do. Maybe Kantai Collection is a game ,however we should make a correct understanding of some proper nouns. Kantai Collection is of our favorite games. Have you bought anything about the Kantai Collection such as: game, poster, trinket, ? Whatever you chose, these will express your love to them. You can share with me about your idea，thanks!
