  Cirrocumulus

  The image shows a patch of Cirrocumulus, a thin white cloud without shading. It is composed of very small elements with an apparent width of less than 1°. Towards the left and right of the image, ripples or undulations at 2 and 3 identify the variety as undulatus.

  Cirrocumulus stratiformis undulatus

  A ridge of high pressure extended across southern UK from an anticyclone (1 027 hPa) centred to the south-west of the British Isles. Frontal cloud affected the north and west of the British Isles but, in the south, under the ridge of high pressure, skies were clearer with just various forms of high-level cirriform clouds drifting from west to east. This picture shows an area of Cirrocumulus stratiformis undulatus.    The cloud is identified as Cirrocumulus by the very small, and hence high-level, white cloud elements that are without shading and in the form of grains or ripples. The species is stratiformis because of the extensive layer, and the ripples identify the variety as undulatus.

  Cirrocumulus stratiformis undulatus

  A ridge of high pressure extended across southern UK from an anticyclone (1 027 hPa) centred to the south-west of the British Isles. Frontal cloud affected the north and west of the British Isles but, in the south, under the ridge of high pressure, skies were clearer with just various forms of high-level cirriform clouds drifting from west to east. This picture is a close-up view of Cirrocumulus stratiformis undulatus, showing the fine detail of the cloud.

  The cloud is identified as Cirrocumulus by the very small, and hence high-level, white cloud elements that are without shading and in the form of grains and ripples. The species is stratiformis because of the extensive layer, and the ripples identify the variety as undulatus.
