Clouds of the Day - Thursday, November 9, 2023

Here is today’s cloud collection. It features low and middle level clouds revealing different atmospheric motions. The lower clouds have a stratus and cumulus component and do so the higher clouds. However, the upper clouds feature the cumulus type while the lower clouds have more of a stratus look. This shows how cloud structures reveal the different air motions that are working at the same time.
