2. Cumulus cloud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulus_cloud

   Cumulus arcus clouds have a gust front, [26] and cumulus tuba clouds have funnel clouds or tornadoes. [27] Cumulus pileus clouds refer to cumulus clouds that have grown so rapidly as to force the formation of pileus over the top of the cloud. [28] Cumulus velum clouds have an ice crystal veil over the growing top of the cloud. [19]

   Cumulus pileus (WMO genus and accessory cloud) – capped, hood-shaped cumulus cloud. Cumulus praecipitatio (WMO genus and supplementary feature) – cumulus whose precipitation reaches the ground. Cumulus radiatus (WMO genus and variety) – cumulus arranged in parallel lines that appear to converge near the horizon. Cumulus radiatus clouds ...

4. Cloud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud

   More general airmass instability in the troposphere tends to produce clouds of the more freely convective cumulus genus type, whose species are mainly indicators of degrees of atmospheric instability and resultant vertical development of the clouds. A cumulus cloud initially forms in the low level of the troposphere as a cloudlet of the species ...

5. Cumulus congestus cloud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulus_congestus_cloud

   Cumulus congestus or towering cumulus clouds are a species of cumulus that can be based in the low- to middle-height ranges. They achieve considerable vertical development in areas of deep, moist convection. They are an intermediate stage between cumulus mediocris and cumulonimbus, sometimes producing rainshowers, snow, or ice pellets. [2]

6. Thermal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal

   Cumulus clouds are formed by the rising air in a thermal as it ascends and cools, until the water vapor in the air begins to condense into visible droplets. When a steady wind is present, thermals and their respective cumulus clouds can align in rows oriented with wind direction, sometimes referred to as " cloud streets " by soaring and glider ...
