Cirrus Cloud
Typically found at heights greater than
20,000 feet (6,000 meters),
 Cirrus generally occur in fair weather
and point in the direction of air
movement at their elevation.
 Thin and Wispy

Cumulus Clouds
They are fluffy clouds that sometimes
look like pieces of floating cotton.
 The base of each cloud is often flat and
may be only 1000 m (330 ft) above the
ground.




Cumulus clouds appear so fluffy because
bubbles of air, called „thermals‟, linger in the
cloud making it have this kind of look
Cumulonimbus Clouds
Exist from near ground to 50,000 feet up
in the air
 Sometimes the cloud can contain both
liquid water droplets and ice crystals
when the freezing point is in the middle
of the cloud




These clouds are associated with powerful
thunderstorms. (Snow, rain, hail, lightning,
thunder) sometimes tornadoes can attend in
these clouds.
Status Clouds




These clouds are uniformed layered clouds
that are below 6,000 feet.
Fog or mist is the result of very low stratus
cloud
Stratus clouds are formed when a weak
upward air current lifts a thin layer of air high
enough to start condensation of the excess
water vapor if the air temperature falls below
the dew point.
Nimbostratus Clouds
These clouds form at or below 6,000
feet
 They are dark, low level clouds that
bring light to moderately heavy
prolonged precipitation, such as
“snow or rain”.
 Below nimbostratus clouds can lie
broken up clouds that are called
fractostratus clouds.

Altocumulus Clouds
It’s a middle – level cloud, it usually
forms between 2 to 7 kilometers (6,500
to 22,000 ft.)
 These clouds are small, puffy clouds
that slowly drifts across the sky,
(resembles dozens of small, loose
cotton-balls.)
 If you see altocumulus clouds on a
warm humid morning, then expect
thunderstorms by late afternoon.
