Определение cirrocumulus в Английский Язык Английский Язык словарь
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

These clouds contain primarily ice crystals and contain thin white layers with a texture that makes them look like patches of cotton or ripples without shadows
a cloud at a high altitude consisting of a series of regularly arranged small clouds resembling ripples
A cirriform cloud with vertical development, appearing as a thin sheet of small white puffs which give it a rippled effect It often creates a "mackerel sky", since the ripples may look like fish scales Sometimes it is confused with altocumulus, however, it has smaller individual masses and does not cast a shadow on other elements It is also the least common cloud type, often forming from cirrus or cirrostratus, with which it is associated in the sky
a cirriform cloud characterized by thin, white patches, each of which is composed of very small granules or ripples These clouds are of high altitude (20,000-40,000 ft or 6000 -12,000 m)
