Altocumulus (from Latin altus 'high' and cumulus 'heaped') [1] is a middle-altitude cloud genus that belongs mainly to the stratocumuliform physical category, characterized by globular masses or rolls in layers or patches – the individual elements being larger and darker than those of cirrocumulus and smaller than those of stratocumulus. [2]
Altocumulus cavum Cauda "Tail": A tail cloud that extends horizontally away from the murus cloud and is the result of air feeding into the storm. Cumulonimbus murus cauda Fluctus Crested wave-like stratocumulus, altocumulus, or cirrus cloud formed by wind-shear. Stratocumulus fluctus Incus
Altocumulus floccus is a cloud type named for its tuft-like, wooly appearance. [1] The base of the cloud can form as low as 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), or as high as 6,000 metres (20,000 ft). They often form in clusters, or patches, and bases can vary in height with differing atmospheric conditions within the PBL . [ 2 ]
Cumulus humilis clouds usually indicate fair weather. [23] Cumulus mediocris clouds are similar, except that they have some vertical development, which implies that they can grow into cumulus congestus or even cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce heavy rain, lightning, severe winds, hail, and even tornadoes.
The altocumulus undulatus is a mid-level cloud (about 8,000–20,000 ft or 2,400–6,100 m), usually white or grey with layers or patches containing undulations that resemble "waves" or "ripples" in water.

Altocumulus stratiformis is the most common species of the Altocumulus genus of clouds. [1] They tend to form broad layers of individual, cell-like clumps, often separated from each other, though they sometimes can coagulate into a larger individual cloud. They often have a vertical extent of less than 500 m. [2]
