Some cloud formations I have photographed.

Now, I know I am not a meteorologist, but I hope to identify these cloud formations correctly and to contain only real facts.

Cloud formation key:

      Cloud types:               

Cirrus

Cumulus

Stratus
Lenticular
Note: I have not gotten any pictures of Lenticular clouds yet.

Quick naming guide:

The prefix "Alto-" is added before the cloud types name if it is higher than normal. (Example: Alto-stratus, Alto-cumulus)

            Note: Never use "alto" before Cirrus, though, as they are the highest clouds that are formed.

 The prefix "Nimbo-" is added if the cloud is darker/precipitating.

Cirrus

Cumulus

As you can see, the stratus layer of clouds are precipitating, so the prefix "Nimbo-" was added.
