The pyrocumulonimbuscloud pyroCb is a type of cumulus cloud formed above a source of heat such as a wildfire and may sometimes even extinguish the fire that formed it. It is the most extreme manifestation of pyrocumulus . According to the American Meteorological Society s Glossary of Meteorology, a pyrocumulus is a cumulus cloud formed by a rising thermal from a fire, or enhanced by buoyant plume emissions from an industrial combustion process. ref cite web url http amsglossary.allenpress.com glossary search?query pyrocumulus title AMS Glossary publisher American Meteorological Society accessdate 6 January 2012 ref Analogous to the meteorological distinction between Cumulus cloud cumulus and cumulonimbus , the pyrocumulonimbus is a fire aided or caused convective cloud but with considerable vertical development. The pyroCb reaches the upper troposphere or even lower stratosphere and may involve Precipitation meteorology precipitation although usually light , hail , lightning, extreme low level wind s, and in some cases even tornado es. ref cite doi 10.1029 2005GL025161 ref The pyroCb was named following the discovery that extreme manifestations of this pyroconvection caused direct injection of large abundances of smoke into the lower stratosphere ref cite doi 10.1029 1999GL011200 ref ref cite doi 10.1029 2002GL016820 ref Alternate spellings and abbreviations for pyrocumulonimbus that may be found in the literature include pyro cumulonimbus, pyro cb, pyro Cb and pyrocb.

Refimprove date February 2009 Nofootnotes date February 2009 The cloud height or the height of the cloud is the distance between the cloud base and the cloud top . It is traditionally expressed either in metres or as a pressure difference in hectopascal hPa, equivalent to millibar . Sometimes, the expression cloud height is used instead of cloud base , in which case the context has to clarify whether the intent is to designate the elevation or the size of the cloud. Measurement Cloud height is not measured directly, but derived from separate measurements of cloud base and cloud top altitudes. Weather and climate relevance Cloud height is often related to the intensity of precipitation generated by a cloud deeper clouds tend to produce more intense rainfall. For instance, cumulonimbus cloud s can develop vertically through a substantial part of the troposphere and often result in thunderstorm s with lightning and heavy showers. By contrast, very thin clouds such as cirrus clouds do not generate any precipitation at the surface.
