Clouds of the Day - Stratocumulus - Wednesday, February 14, 2024

Stratocumulus are a hybrid of stratus and cumulus clouds. The stratus part of the cloud is the arrangement of the lumpy cumulus that are arranged in a broad sheet. The individual puffs of cloud are partially aligned in rows which indicates a series of waves moving through the layer. There appears to be a layer of higher Altostratus visible through openings in the Stratocumulus.
