There are ten basic cloud types arranged in three divisions based on the altitude at which they form. Low
level clouds are Cumulus, Cumulonimbus, Stratus, and Stratocumulus. Middle level clouds are Altocumulus, Altostratus and Nimbostratus. High level clouds are Cirrus, Cirrocumulus and Cirrostratus. Precipitation primarily occurs from Cumulus, Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus.
Whether I’m outdoors or just looking outside, I like to observe the clouds. Each cloud is different and has a different story to tell. In this book, I’ll explain some of the basic cloud types and show you some of the clouds I’ve observed outside my window at the National Weather Service Office in Gray, Maine.
