A Simple, Efficient Method for Realistic Animation of Clouds
2000 - Y.Dobashi, K.Kaneda, H.Yamashita, T.Okita, T.Nishita
This paper describes how to animate and render realistic clouds with shadowing and light shafts. It is based on a simplified model of cloud formation so it is not physically exact. It is fast but still not fast enough for real-time animation. A Practical Analytic Model for Daylight

This article describes a technique for very fast rendering of realistically lighted non-animated clouds. This is very useful for games where the view is up in sky and near the clouds. Real-Time Cloud Rendering and Animation

This article shows how to do the necessary calculations to render a planetary atmosphere as seen from space. It takes into account the suns locations, the location of the camera, and the planet's shadow. Real-time realistic illumination and shading of stratiform clouds
