| It is characterized by a sky covered by a layer of stratus or stratocumulus which tends to persist because of the weak atmospheric circulation. |
| The cirrocumulus formation is basically the same cloud as the stratocumulus and altocumulus but at higher altitude. |
| They tested their model by comparing its predictions with measurements from field projects devoted to characterizing marine stratocumulus clouds. |
| To the east of the cold front, VFR stratocumulus ceilings were reported across much of the region. |
| If the air is very stable, a widespread area of cumulus and stratocumulus cloud will be formed giving snow flurry activity. |
| Remarks: cloud type and coverage was stratus fractus seven-eighths and stratocumulus one-eighth. |
