Clouds can be connected to the features of the land that they are forming over. They have been found to form more often over mountains and large cities, but the impacts of other features such as forests, rivers, and agriculture are harder to observe and less understood. This study was conducted over the Southeast region of the United States, and uses newer satellite processing software to find novel observations about the relationship between rain clouds, the atmosphere, and land features.
