Cirrocumulus meaning
A principal high-level cloud type appearing as a thin, white patch of cloud without shadows, composed of very small droplets in the form of grains or ripples. The elements may be merged or separate, and more or less regularly arranged; they subtend an angle of less than 1° when observed at an angle of more than 30° above the horizon. Holes or rifts often occur in a sheet of cirrocumulus. Abbreviated Cc.

They are sometimes seen with cirrus, cirrocumulus, and altocumulus, but not stratocumulus. (12 words)
Cirro-stratocumulus is therefore abbreviated to cirrocumulus and alto-stratocumulus is shortened to altocumulus. (14 words)

They are not to be confused with cirrocumulus floccus since they are larger than cirrocumulus and mostly are isolated.
Cirrocumulus in its pure form is actually a high cumuliform genus, and cirrostratus is stratiform, like altostratus and lower based sheet clouds.
Cirro-stratocumulus is therefore abbreviated to cirrocumulus and alto-stratocumulus is shortened to altocumulus.
Description Cirrus clouds merging to cirrocumulus clouds Cirrus cloud ranges in thickness from convert to convert, with an average thickness of convert.
It is occasionally seen with cirrocumulus and altocumulus of the species stratiformis, castellanus, and floccus, and with stratocumulus of the species stratiformis and castellanus.
Layered altocumulus and cirrocumulus are physically more closely related to stratocumulus than to cumulus heaps.
Stratocumuliform and stratiform clouds in the high étage carry the prefix cirro-, yielding the respective genus names cirrocumulus (Cc) and cirrostratus (Cs).
Summary of high cloud genera A solar halo There are three main genera in the family of high clouds: cirrus, cirrocumulus, and cirrostratus.
The high-étage clouds are all cirriform, one of which, cirrocumulus, is also cumuliform of limited convection or stratocumuliform.
The ice crystals in the bottoms of cirrocumulus clouds tend to be in the form of hexagonal cylinders.
The other two genera, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus, are also high clouds.
These were respectively stratocumuliform and stratiform cloud genera of a newly defined middle étage above stratocumulus and stratus but below cirrocumulus and cirrostratus.
The stratocumuliform group is cross-classified into the genera cirrocumulus (high-étage), altocumulus (middle-étage), and stratocumulus (low-étage).
They are sometimes seen with cirrus, cirrocumulus, and altocumulus, but not stratocumulus.
Virga is a feature seen with clouds producing precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground, these being of the genera cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus.
