  Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogenitus

  A southerly airstream brought hot, showery weather to the Guangdong coast near Hong Kong (China). The dense cloud is Cirrus spissatus and is all that remains of a Cumulonimbus cloud – this further defines it as cumulonimbogenitus. A Cumulonimbus calvus can be seen on the horizon.

  Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogentitus and Cumulus mediocris

  Still anvil-shaped, this Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogenitus is the remnant of a small, solitary Cumulonimbus capillatus incus some 45 minutes earlier. 

  A Cumulus cloud, predominantly of the species mediocris, completes the cloud observation.

  This is a zoomed view. For more detail, see the accompanying image.

  Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbigenitus and Cumulonimbus capillatus incus

  Still anvil-shaped, this Cirrus spissatus cumulonimbogenitus is the remnant of a small, solitary Cumulonimbus capillatus incus some 45 minutes earlier. A newer Cumulonimbus capillatus incus, in the decaying stage of development, is approximately 60 km away on the left horizon. Flanking this cell are either Cumulus congestus or Cumulonimbus cells; the distance and relatively small size of the cells do not permit accurate identification from this image. Cumulus, predominantly of the species mediocris, completes the cloud observation. A zoomed view of the cell to the right is shown in the accompanying image.
