clouddefinition
Clouddefinition refers to the process of identifying, classifying, and describing various types of cloud formations. This practice is fundamental to meteorology and aviation, aiding in weather forecasting and flight safety. Clouds are categorized based on their altitude, appearance, and the processes by which they form.
The primary classification system groups clouds into ten genera, such as cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus.
Further subdivisions include species and varieties, which describe more specific shapes, structures, and arrangements of clouds.
