Stratus clouds may also form from formation mechanisms that are not typical for the cloud type, for example, Stratus homogenitus, which are stratus formed by human activity, Stratus cataractagenitus, which are formed from the spray of waterfalls, and Stratus silvagenitus, which are formed by evaporation or evapotranspiration occurring in a forest.
At level with stratus nebulosus translucidus (V-90) and opacus (V-91) clouds Stratus fractus (V-89) cloud. Abbreviation: St [9] Clouds of the genus stratus form in low horizontal layers having a ragged or uniform base. Ragged stratus often forms in precipitation while more uniform stratus forms in maritime or other moist stable air mass conditions.
Stratus silvagenitus is a type of stratus cloud. The word silvagenitus is a scientific Latin coinage meaning "created from forest". [ 1 ] This cloud type forms over forested areas which are experiencing high relative humidity levels, for example, after precipitation has passed, through evaporation and/or evapotranspiration .

Stratus nebulosus is a species of low-level stratus cloud. It is one of only two species that is associated with stratus clouds, other being fractus. Translated from Latin meaning nebulous, their cloud abbreviations can be respectively written as ‘St neb’. For a cloud to be classified as nebulosus, there has to be zero sign of detail in the ...
Opacus is a cloud variety that is found in stratocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, and stratus cloud types. This cloud variety has a dark and opaque appearance and hides the location of the Sun and Moon. This makes it the opposite of translucidus, which is translucent and gives away the location of the Sun and Moon. [1]

A nimbostratus cloud in the background with a stratus fractus in the middle of the upper half of the image. Fractus are accessory clouds, named for the type of cloud from which they were sheared. The two principal forms are cumulus fractus (formerly, fractocumulus) and stratus fractus (formerly, fractostratus).
