Stratus (St)
● The present of cloud indicates a stable air mass.

● Lacks defined edges, like a veil, the lowest of the clouds, sometimes down to the
ground.
● Precipitation when it occurs is usually light often appearing in the form of drizzle.
● Flight through clouds is smooth.
● Stratus may lower,becoming fog after sunset due to absence of surface heating and
decrease wind.
● Ceiling and visibilities are typically poor.
● During morning, fog may lift due to surface heating to become a stratus layer.
● Low clouds (bases near the surface to about 6500 ft)
Cirrus (Ci)
● cloud composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of super cooled
● the word cloud means “feather” and that is what it may look like
● The most common form of high level clouds are thin and wispy clouds
● cloud generally occur in fair and point in the direction of air kovement at their
elevation
● No turbulence
● No significantly icing
● Visibility good
● Supercooled water droplets , some turbulence and icing
● Sometimes the only indication of their presence is given by an observation halo
around the sun or moon
● Clouds may be thin mostly semitransparent
Altocumulus (Ac)
● Clouds may be thin mostly semitransparent

● Vertical motion and instability at midlevels
● May appear as parallel bands and rounded masses
● The presense of clouds on a warm and humid summer morning is
commonly followed by thunderstorm later in the day
● Compose water droplets and ice crystals
● Moderate amounts of icing
● Little turbulence
Nimbostratus (Ns)
● The present of cloud indicates a stable air masses

● Flight in this clould usually smooth
● Very little turbulence
● Can pose serious icing problem if temperature are near or
below freezing
● Dark, low- level cloud
● Low cloud usually uniform and dark gray in colour
● The present of nimbostratos indicates a stable air mass.
Cirrostratus (Cs)
● No turbulunce
● Restricted visibility
● Sometimes the only indication of their presence is given by an
observed halo around the sun or moon
● Visibility good
● Sheet like nearly transparent
● Looking like the scale on a fish. It is cause by high level waves
Cumulus (Cu)
•Clouds usually good ceiling and visibilities except in the

vicinity of precipitation.
•Clouds indicate fair weather & are seemingly flattened
with little vertical development.
•looks like a big cauliflower.
•puffy cotton balls floating in the sky.
•unstable air will give some turbulence, but no significant
icing.
Cirrocumulus (Cc)
● Composed of ice crystals

● Super cooled water droplet, some
turbulence and icing
Cumulonimbus (Cb)
● Violence turbulence
● Strong possibility for icing
● Cloud should be considered a thunderstorm
● Compose of water droplets and ice crystals
● Clouds indicate fair wheather and seemingly flattened with little vertical
development
● Cloud exhibit great vertical development with tops compose of least in part of
ice crystals
● May develop a clearly fibrous tops often anvil shaped
● Lower level of clouds consist mostly of water droplets while at higher elevations
where temperature are well below 0 degree celcius ice crystals dominated
Stratoscumulus (Sc)
● Turbulence develop below this layer.

● Vary in color from dark gray to light gray and
may appear as rounded masses, rolls,
with breaks of clear sky in between.
low clouds usually uniform and dark gray
in colour.
● Cloud’s name indicates something in
between stratus and cumulus.
● Appear as a low, lumpy layer of clouds
that is sometimes accompanied
by weak intensity precipitation.
Altostratus (As)
● Indicate a stable atmosphere at midlevel

● Some cloud are thin and semi-transparent while the others are thick enough to
hide the sun and the moon
● These clouds can produce precipitation in the form of rain or snow even heavy
snow at times compose of water droplets & ice crystal
● Cloud composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of super-cooled
● Sometimes the only indication of their presence is given by an observed halo
around the sun or moon
● Rough turbulence with some icing some turbulence
