The huge expanse of the Pacific Ocean gives rise to myriad cloud forms. In these true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images to very different cloud patterns are seen. One shows ship tracks (clouds that form around the emissions or exhaust from ships); the other shows a large stratocumulus cloud deck.
