Note :
A classification of clouds according to their chief forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard ,
and this is still substantially employed .
The following varieties and subvarieties are recognized :
(
a ) {
Cirrus }.
This is the most elevated of all the forms of clouds ;
is thin ,
long -
drawn ,
sometimes looking like carded wool or hair ,
sometimes like a brush or room ,
sometimes in curl -
like or fleecelike patches .
It is the cat '
s -
tail of the sailor ,
and the mare '
s -
tail of the landsman .
(
b ) {
Cumulus }.
This form appears in large masses of a hemispherical form ,
or nearly so ,
above ,
but flat below ,
one often piled above another ,
forming great clouds ,
common in the summer ,
and presenting the appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow .
It often affords rain and thunder gusts .
(
c ) {
Stratus }.
This form appears in layers or bands extending horizontally .
(
d ) {
Nimbus }.
This form is characterized by its uniform gray tint and ragged edges ;
it covers the sky in seasons of continued rain ,
as in easterly storms ,
and is the proper rain cloud .
The name is sometimes used to denote a raining cumulus ,
or cumulostratus .
(
e ) {
Cirro -
cumulus }.
This form consists ,
like the cirrus ,
of thin ,
broken ,
fleecelice clouds ,
but the parts are more or less rounded and regulary grouped .
It is popularly called mackerel sky .
(
f ) {
Cirro -
stratus }.
In this form the patches of cirrus coalesce in long strata ,
between cirrus and stratus .
(
g ) {
Cumulo -
stratus }.
A form between cumulus and stratus ,
often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint .
-- {
Fog },
cloud ,
motionless ,
or nearly so ,
lying near or in contact with the earth '
s surface . -- {
Storm scud },
cloud lying quite low ,
without form ,
and driven rapidly with the wind .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
A mass or volume of smoke ,
or flying dust ,
resembling vapor . "
A thick cloud of incense ." --

lowering ,
or threatening aspect ;
that which temporarily overshadows ,
obscures ,

as ,
a cloud of sorrow ;
a cloud of war ;

1913 Webster ]
