  Altocumulus stratiformis opacus asperitas

  An extensive and thick layer of Altocumulus (species stratiformis and variety opacus) is the only cloud visible in this photo. The chaotic wave-like structures on and descending from the under surface of the cloud are of the new variety, asperitas. It could be a mild form of asperitas or developing asperitas.
