Short example sentences

Words like mammatus, pyrocumulonimbus and nimbostratus may seem archaic, or even alien, to some. (14 words)

This sometimes leads to the exclusion of nimbostratus from the group of vertical clouds. (14 words)

Longer example sentences

Nimbostratus cloud droplets can also be quite large, up to 0.015 mm radius. citation These larger droplets associated with vertically developed clouds are better able to trap the long-wave radiation thus mitigating the cooling effect to some degree. (40 words)

Classifications that follow this approach usually show nimbostratus either as low-étage citation to denote its normal base height range, or as middle, based on the altitude range at which it normally forms. (33 words)

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. (33 words)

Of the latter, upward-growing cumulus mediocris produces only isolated light showers, while downward growing nimbostratus is capable of heavier, more extensive precipitation.

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.

The stratiform group is cross-classified into the genera cirrostratus (high-étage), altostratus (middle-étage), stratus (low-étage), and nimbostratus (multi-étage).

This cloud often forms under a precipitating deck of altostratus or high-based nimbostratus associated with a well-developed warm front, slow-moving cold front, or low-pressure area.

This sometimes leads to the exclusion of nimbostratus from the group of vertical clouds.

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.

Widespread opaque altostratus can produce light continuous or intermittent precipitation. citation Precipitation commonly becomes heavier and more widespread if it thickens into nimbostratus.
