Aso in the background A "sea of clouds" is a state in which the upper surface of a cloud looks like the sea when you look down at it from a high place. In English, it is exactly the "sea of clouds". Although it can be easily seen from the window of an airplane, it is a phenomenon that is rarely seen as long as you live in a normal town. It is said that it is important that various conditions overlap for the generation of a sea of clouds, but to explain briefly, first, the temperature near the surface of the earth drops due to radiative cooling, and water vapor in the air condenses to generate fog. It is said that it is important to meet various conditions such as the topography of the basin where fog tends to accumulate, the weak wind, the high humidity from the previous day, and the sudden drop in temperature.
