Stratocumulus Perlucidus is a layer of stratocumulus clouds with small spaces, appearing in irregular pattern, through which clear sky or higher clouds can be seen. Stratocumulus Translucidus consist of separate groups of stratocumulus clouds, with a clear sky (or higher clouds) visible between them.
Lens-shaped low cloud. Stratocumulus volutus (V-64) Elongated, low-level, tube shaped, horizontal stratocumuliform cloud. Stratocumulus floccus (V-65) Scattered or isolated stratocumulus tufts with domed tops and ragged bases. Stratocumulus castellanus (V-66) Layer of turreted stratocumulus cloud with tower-like formations protruding upwards. [11]
Stratocumulus volutus is a rare species of stratocumulus cloud, typically forming alone. [1] Volutus is translated from Latin, meaning revolve, being described as a roll cloud . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Stratocumulus volutus clouds are low-level clouds, forming below 2,000 meters (6,600 feet).
Asperitas (formerly known as Undulatus asperatus) is a cloud formation first popularized and proposed as a type of cloud in 2009 by Gavin Pretor-Pinney of the Cloud Appreciation Society. Added to the International Cloud Atlas as a supplementary feature in March 2017, it is the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951. [ 2 ]
A stratocumulus cloud is another type of stratocumuliform cloud. Like cumulus clouds, they form at low levels [38] and via convection. However, unlike cumulus clouds, their growth is almost completely retarded by a strong inversion. As a result, they flatten out like stratus clouds, giving them a layered appearance.
The clouds, which are quite rare in the UK, were spotted in northern parts of the country earlier this week, over Gateshead, Newcastle, Cumbria and Scotland. ... (ACSL), stratocumulus standing ...
These clouds are extremely common, covering on average around twenty-three percent of the Earth's oceans and twelve percent of the Earth's continents. They are less common in tropical areas and commonly form after cold fronts. Additionally, stratocumulus clouds reflect a large amount of the incoming sunlight, producing a net cooling effect. [15]
