As air rises it cools due to expansion which increases the relative humidity. If you don't understand the relationship between air temperature, dew-point temperature and relative humidity you might want to visit our alcove on these relationships.

There is also an alcove on how satellites observations are used to track clouds to determine wind patterns.

Of course to track clouds we first have to detect their presence. Here's an alcove that introduces how to interpret satellite images.

You can also review how to identify clouds from the ground. As well as test you skills at cloud classification.
