  Altocumulus stratiformis translucidus perlucidus, Cirrus spissatus and Stratocumulus cumulogenitus

  A thin sheet of almost-white Altocumulus stratiformis translucidus perlucidus dominates this image. A wave pattern (variety undulatus) is developing on the eastern edge of the sheet.

  Lower down are a few Cumulus congestus cells; a  shower of rain is falling from one of them. Cumulus mediocris cells sheared by the low-level winds are also present.

  Patches of Stratocumulus are the remnants of the tops of the Cumulus that spread under a stable layer (cumulogenitus). More Stratocumulus cumulogenitus is forming in several areas.

  Lastly, several patches of Cirrus spissatus are further east of the Altocumulus. Nothing suggests these thick patches of Cirrus are the remnants of Cumulonimbus tops.

  Altocumulus stratiformis translucidus perlucidus undulatus

  This layer of medium-level cloud is Altocumulus. Its rounded masses and rolls have an apparent width of between 1° and 5° and there is some shading. The specific species of this Altocumulus is classified as stratiformis, due to the cloud’s extensive coverage of the sky. The sheet of cloud is sufficiently translucent to reveal the position of the Sun, and so it is also of the variety translucidus. In places there are spaces between the cloud elements, which also indicates the variety perlucidus, and the enlongated and broadly parallel rolls indicate that the variety undulatus also applies.
