Cumuliform in a sentence

After the pannus types, the remaining accessory clouds comprise formations that are associated mainly with upward-growing cumuliform and cumulonimbiform clouds of free convection.

Alternatively, some classifications do not recognize a vertical or multi-étage designation for any genus types and include all vertical free-convective cumuliform and cumulonimbiform genera with the low-étage clouds.

Cirrocumulus in its pure form is actually a high cumuliform genus, and cirrostratus is stratiform, like altostratus and lower based sheet clouds.

Cumuliform clouds forming in the lower level were given the genus name cumulus from the Latin word for heap, citation and low stratiform clouds the genus name stratus from the Latin word for sheet or layer.

However, with sufficient airmass instability, upward-growing cumuliform clouds can grow to high towering proportions.

In general, small cumuliform clouds tend to indicate comparatively weak instability.

Low stratocumuliform, stratiform, and cumuliform genera Low-étage clouds are found from near surface up to convert.

Ragged stratiform and cumuliform species The species fractus shows variable instability because it can be a subdivision of genus-types of different physical forms that have different stability characteristics.

Stratocumuliform Clouds of this structure have both cumuliform and stratiform characteristics in the form of rolls or ripples.

The high-étage clouds are all cirriform, one of which, cirrocumulus, is also cumuliform of limited convection or stratocumuliform.

There is no stratiform type in this group because by definition, even very thick stratiform clouds cannot have towering vertical structure, although nimbostratus may be accompanied by embedded towering cumuliform or cumulonimbiform types.

This led to the recognition of a stratocumuliform citation category that included rolled and rippled clouds classified separately from the more freely convective heaped cumuliform clouds.
