Vor 5 Tagen · The list of cloud types groups all genera as high (cirro-, cirrus), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbo-, cumulo-, cumulus), and low (strato-, stratus). These groupings are determined by the altitude level or levels in the troposphere at which each of the various cloud types is normally found.
26. Mai 2024 · The two main types of low clouds include stratus, which develop horizontally, and cumulus, which develop vertically. Stratus clouds are uniform and flat, producing a gray layer of cloud cover which may be precipitation-free or may cause periods of light precipitation or drizzle.
25. Mai 2024 · In most cases, cumulonimbus clouds are accompanied by showers of rain, snow, or hail. A cumulonimbus is a common sign of a thunderstorm and on rare occasions is associated with tornadoes. Cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus clouds are composed exclusively of ice crystals, but the crystals generally evaporate before reaching the ...
16. Mai 2024 · Meteorologists classify cloud types into three major groups by height (their elevation in the atmosphere), not how tall they are from top to bottom. There are ten major cloud types and about two dozen less common types. We can’t get to all of them in the guide, but we’ll cover the major ones.
28. Mai 2024 · The Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID) provides vertical profiles of aerosols and thin clouds, while the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) provides vertical profiles of thicker clouds.

Vor 5 Tagen · Clouds can take on various forms, including stratus clouds that appear as flat and featureless layers, cumulus clouds that are fluffy and white, and cirrus clouds that are thin and wispy. Clouds can indicate weather conditions. Observing the type, height, and movement of clouds can help predict weather patterns.
Vor 6 Tagen · Nimbostratus (2,000-10,000 ft) are typical rain clouds. They are often dark gray and cover the whole sky. They appear baggy or sagging. They mean rain or snow is falling or is on the way. Altostratus (6,500-20,000 ft) clouds can look like a blanket of mist over the sky. Usually, they are thin enough for you to see the sun through them.
