- Recognizing difficult cloud types: very high Altocumulus clouds
- W010110Z
- Recognizing difficult cloud types. This sheet of very high Altocumulus clouds could easily be mistaken for other cloud types. Glancing light decreases opacity, giving the cloud a translucent look that suggests Cirrocumulus, which it does resemble in the fine detail. But the elements are slightly too large and longer billows exist too. The sheet also looks a bit like Cirrus but has no diffuse or frozen parts.
