not sure what it should say but it's not cumulonimbus...Dr Denim 19:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needed Corrections 

message: Are 'Hole Punch' clouds cassified? I'm linking some articles/examples for anyone interested in answering or adding to the article.
It's also noteworthy that a few of the sites I'm linking are actually conspiracy sites -- people insisting that UFOs, jet planes, etc. cause this kind of formation. Unfortunately, they don't appear to be sourced.

thread_title:  Hole Punch 

message: Added information about the origin of the modern nomenclature system for clouds, attributed to Luke HowardUser:Ve4ernik a.k.a.87.97.234.246 (talk) 14:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some historical facts added 

message: I have made extensive changes to this article to address concerns addressed above, including removal of non-existant altostratus 'species'.  Cumulus and nimbostratus are now grouped into a 'low to medium-level' height range category that recognizes the wide range of altitudes at which these genera may be found (Nimbostratus has been variously classified as middle, low, and even vertical by different authorities).  Will make further improvments as time permits.  User:ChrisCarss Former24.108.99.31 (talk)  23:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified  on List of cloud types. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.morris.umn.edu/~sboyd/weather/cloudsystems/Clouds_files/speciesandvarieties.htm
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

message: "Clouds form in the Earth's atmosphere when water evaporates from oceans, lakes, ponds, and even streams and rivers; and by evaporation or transpiration over moist areas of Earth's land surface.  The vapor rises up into colder areas of the atmosphere due to convective, orographic, or frontal lifting. This subjects the rising air to a process called adiabatic cooling."
"The water vapor attaches itself to condensation nuclei which can be anything from dust to microscopic particles of salt and debris. Once the vapor has been cooled to saturation, the cloud becomes visible. All weather-producing clouds form in the troposphere, the lowest major layer of the atmosphere. However very small amounts of water vapor can be found higher up in the stratosphere and mesosphere and may condense into very thin clouds if the air temperatures are sufficiently cold. The nephology branch of meteorology is focused on the study of cloud physics".
**I've moved the section above out of the main list article pending if there is a clear editorial consensus as to whether it belongs in the 'List of cloud types'.  The topic of cloud formation is well covered in at least 2 other articles; 'Cloud' and 'Cloud physics'.  If this section moved from the main list contains any details about cloud formation not covered in the other articles, then I think these details should be moved to the other articles.
**This article is a list only, and deals only with cloud classification.  As such, it need not be weighed down with non-classification theory already covered elsewhere.  So for the sake of eliminating redundance, I've moved it at least temporarily to this talk section so the issue of what sections belong in which articles can be discussed with an eye towards elimination redundance.

message: This page uses a V-x system to enumerate the possible varieties of cloud, from 1-93 (e.g. V-42). The references don't allude to this, as far as I can find? Where does this system come from - and if it's created here on Wikipedia, where did the associations of possible varieties (and combination of varieties) to species come from? 194.207.139.186 (talk) 18:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
