Arcus cloud is attached to the base of the parent cloud, which is usually a thunderstorm cumulonimbus, but could form on any type of convective clouds. Rising cloud motion often can be seen in the leading (outer) part of the shelf cloud, while the underside often appears turbulent and wind-torn. Cool, sinking air from a storm cloud's downdraft spreads out across the land surface, with the leading edge called a gust front. This outflow cuts under warm air being drawn into the storm's updraft. As the lower cooler air lifts the warm moist air, its water condenses, creating a cloud which often
Stratocumulus cloud with two or more layers or sheets. Stratocumulus duplicatus is common on species lenticularis or lenticular cloud. Stratocumulus Lacunosus clouds are very uncommon. They only occur when there are localized downdrafts striking through the stratocumuliform cloud. Stratocumulus Mamma is a type of mammatus cloud. Stratocumulus Virga is a form of precipitation that evaporates in mid-air and doesn't reach the ground. Stratocumulus Praecipitatio is a form of precipitation that reaches the ground as light rain or snow. Stratocumulus Cumulomutatus the specific type of stratocumulus clouds, are flat and elongated. They form in the evening, when updrafts caused by convection decrease making
