Cloud commentary
Commentary for clouds
Clouds are objects in the sky. They tend to appear in high altitudes, varying on size and shape and color, which are intrinsic in appearance
Clouds have different species such as cumulus, cumulonimbi, cirrus, stratus, and other clouds. They come in different heights from stratus to cirrus clouds
Clouds of higher altitudes can reach as far as 75,000 feet
Image 1: Classification of cloud
Commentary: Cumulus
The cumulus is a low level cloud with heaps on top and flattened base. It is predominantly white in color with gray base. Often the cloud is opaque, obscuring the sun’s heat, thus blocking the air. The cumulus is subdivided into three groups, humilis, mediocris, and
congestus. Humilis is low level, mediocris is medium level, and congestus is high level, thus forming the cumulonimbus cloud
Image 2: Different types of cumulus clouds
From left to right: humilis, mediocris, congestus, & fractus
Humilis-Means when they are low
Mediocris-Mean when they are higher
Congestus-Means being towered vertically in by formation
Fractus-Being fragmented
Peculate structures
Sometimes they have virga
Cirrocumulus
Cirrocumulus Clouds
Cirrocumuli are clouds which are less higher than the cirrus clouds, but equals to the cumulonimbus top. They appear as floccules, which they look like cotton sort of. They are
white colored
Commentary: Cirrostratus
Cirrostratus clouds is a dense layer of clouds containing a haze, that forms a halo in the sun
Commentary-Cirrus spisatus
Spissatus clouds are dense cirrus clouds tht (they have that) the color white of their own. They are far now known the highest cloud genera, which exceeds to 45,000 feet high. They
appear in very high altitudes. They can obscure sun’s lightenness
Commentary-Altostratus
Altostrati are often high level clouds with obscurance. They have no light to the sun due to greyish appearance. The sun’s heat is blocked by the clouds
Commentary-Altocumulus
They are higher levelled clouds compared that of a cumulus at a lower level, and comes in floccules
Comn.-Altocumulus lenticularis
They are called lenticular cloudforms because their form is shaped like a lens
Comment-Cumulonimbus
Cumulonimbi are tall, towering clouds with grey bases. These clouds are enormous in size. They produce precipitation, thunder/lightning, tornadoes and even meso-cyclones
Comment-Stratus
Strati are dense clouds that obscure the heat of the Sun. It has a haze/fog, a mist or composed of liquid crystals
Comment-Cumulonimbises as a mistake of cumulonimbuses
Comment-Stratocumulus
These fluffy clouds are notable for their extreme weather and different growth
Comment-What is vertical formation
In real life, the matter of gas is cloud, when the cloud begins forming at a vertical state, it bulges a protrusion, thus called congestus. At the next stage the body of a cloud is many times taller than a building, taller than mount everest’s. In the final stage the cloud has
became anvil-like, becoming a cumulonimbus. It will disspare the amount of the size on the cloud, turning into a fractus fragment cloud now and continues its own cycling
