Altocumulus Clouds Occasionally altocumulus clouds show vertical development and produce tower-like extensions. These altocumulus clouds are in the early stages of development. Image courtesy of the UCAR Digital Image Library

Altocumulus Clouds Sometimes altocumulus clouds appear as white or gray puffy masses in ripples or waves. Image courtesy of Peggy LeMone

Altostratus Clouds This is an image of altostratus clouds. Notice the difference in thickness and color in the clouds. Image courtesy of Keith G. Diem

Altostratus Clouds This image of altostratus clouds was taken in Boulder, Colorado. Image courtesy of Carlye Calvin

Altostratus Clouds This photograph of altostratus clouds was taken in Calgary, Canada. Notice the bright part of the cloud that is covering the sun. Image courtesy of Peggy LeMone

Cirrocumulus Clouds Sometimes cirrocumulus clouds are made up of groups of small, rounded puffs (like the clouds in this image), and sometimes they appear in long, parallel bands. Image courtesy of the UCAR Digital Image Gallery

Cirrocumulus Clouds Cirrocumulus clouds sometimes appear in parallel bands like these clouds. This is also called a "mackerel sky" because the clouds look like the scales of a mackerel fish. Image courtesy of the UCAR Digital Image Gallery

Cirrocumulus Clouds This photograph includes cirrocumulus clouds in the center and top of the image and cumulus clouds in the center and lower portion of the image. Notice that the cirrocumulus cloud cells appear smaller than the cumulus clouds. Image courtesy of Bob Henson/UCAR

Cirrus Clouds Cirrus clouds are composed entirely of ice and consist of long, thin, wispy streamers. They are commonly known as "mare's tails" because of their appearance. Image courtesy of Lisa Gardiner

Cumulonimbus Clouds This cumulonimbus cloud is well-developed and shows the characteristic anvil-shape. Image courtesy of Roberta Johnson

Cumulus Clouds Cumulus clouds are puffy white or light gray clouds that look like floating cotton balls. They have sharp outlines and a flat base. Image courtesy of Carlye Calvin

Cumulus Clouds This image of cumulus clouds was taken in in the mountains of Colorado. You can tell this was taken in the mountains because some of the clouds appear to be below the person taking the photograph! Image courtesy of Olga and Sergei Kuznetsov

Cumulus Clouds This image of cumulus clouds was taken in the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa, Colorado. Image courtesy of Olga and Sergei Kuznetsov

Nimbostratus Clouds This image of nimbostratus clouds was taken in Seattle, WA. Notice the rain falling out of the clouds, as well as the rainbow! Image courtesy of Peggy LeMone

Nimbostratus Clouds Nimbostratus clouds are dark gray with a ragged base. Image courtesy of English Wikipedia

Nimbostratus Clouds This image of nimbostratus clouds was taken in Victoria, BC, Canada. Notice that you cant see the edges of the clouds. Image courtesy of the University of Victoria School-Based Weather Station Network

Stratocumulus Clouds This photo is of stratocumulus clouds at sunset. Image courtesy of Carlye Calvin/UCAR

Stratocumulus Clouds This is an image of stratocumulus clouds. These clouds are low, lumpy, and gray. Image courtesy of Peggy LeMone

Stratocumulus Clouds These stratocumulus clouds appear in linear clumps across the sky. Image courtesy of Olga and Sergei Kuznetsov

Stratus Clouds This image of stratus clouds was taken in San Giamano, Tuscany, Italy. The stratus cloud appears as fog on the ground. Image courtesy of Sara Martin

Stratus Clouds This image of stratus clouds was taken at sunrise in eastern Colorado. Stratus clouds usually cover the entire sky. Image courtesy of Gregory Thompson
