Wikipedia???
I just started a research project on Clouds. I decided use you advice and check out Wikipedia and see how helpful it is.
I typed in Clouds in the search bar and a few article of info came up including pics. which is very nice. There are also different variouses on the topic like "color of clouds" etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouds )
at the bottom of the page there were links to different websites that were to be helpful.
One of them was old because nothing popped up..... the other worked and sent me to a very nice website called http://www.chitambo.com/clouds/
The site had great pics. plus enough basic info to keep me reading for a while.
I also wanted to find info about the current weather patterns of Los Angeles and the unique rainfall that has hit cali this year. It was hard to think up differnt phases to type in to google,( Wikipedia didn't really work.) (THis has always been a problem with search engine, either you have to many on related stuff or the phases to find the great stuff is hard to think of.)
I typed in Los Angeles + clouds and I got weather pages but no real info
the same happened when i put in Rain+ Los Angeles + 2005
* I was just looking on Flickr pages for pics of clouds and found a bunch of great ones including several groups that post cloud pic.... also i was just searching random tags and found this great pics here is one of them

Day two of Research
I returned today to do more research and i am finding it just as hard as the last time. I am finding a lot of websites with the same info but not much that go indepth on the subject like a book might. I decided to actually go in to the lib. and look what I could find.... I had a hard time finding anything when I typed in Clouds, but thinking with my little brain I decided to try a more broad term like Weather and it worked. I found one book that seem to help but it is from 1966 so that not a perfect source. So I am going to google weather and Los Angeles and see what I find.
Okay that didn't work. So I tried Climate and Los Angeles which was better. I found charts with data on Weather for each month.
In a seperate search I looked up simply " Cloud types". I found some good sites here. On had a Power Point lession on Clouds which was very help full.
