- Uncertainty in cloud type analysis: Altocumulus and Stratocumulus
- W022659Z
- Cloud type analysis and uncertainty. Another tough case where clouds resemble Stratocumulus and Altocumulus. Since the cloud strip at top is like an anvil extending away from an updraft, it is more likely Altocumulus. The thin, close baselines also support this. With the sun already down in a cold air mass, the cumuliform clouds are not Cumulus and would, therefore, be Castellanus, clinching the decision.
