Clouds
• Visible aggregates of minute droplets of liquid water or tiny crystals of ice.
• Tell us what is going on in the atmos at that time and place.
• Helps us forecast the weather.

Classification of Clouds
• Based on HEIGHT & SHAPE
• 10 BASIC cloud types. (p. 106-107)

3 Forms (Shapes)• Cirrus- high, white, thin. Described as
feathery or wispy.
• Cumulus- white and puffy with flat base
• Stratus- cover the entire sky (or most of it). Grey clouds

Stratus (typical MI cloud)

HEIGHT
• High-level Clouds (Cirro)– Above 6000 m– Made of ice
• Mid-level Clouds (Alto)– 2000-6000 m
• Low-level Clouds (Strato)– less than 2000

Cirrostratus• As the name sounds… High and Flat• fibrous or smooth cloud that covers much of the sky• Can produce a halo around the sun or moon

Cirrocumulus• White patches of cells or ripples.• Often called “mackerel sky”, similar to the design
on mackerel fish.

Altocumulus
• Sometimes hard to distinguish with cirrocumulus
• They should have a distinct outline because they are made of water, not ice

Altostratus
• Cover most or all of sky.
• Thicker than cirrostratus, no halos.
• Associated with warm fronts

Stratus• Thick layer of clouds covering most (or all)
of the sky. Cannot see the sun.
• Can produce rain

Stratocumulus• Low cumulus clouds covering most of the
sky

Nimbo or Nimbus
• Rain clouds
• Nimbostratus clouds produce moderate rain.
• Cover the entire sky and are low alt.

Clouds of Vertical Development (VDC’s)
• Do not fit into one height category. Can extend from low to high altitudes.
• 2 types cumulus and cumulonimbus

Cumulonimbus (Anvil Heads)
• Sever weather producers (lightning, thunder, hail, high winds, tornadoes, flying cows).
• Caused by warm air rising.
