Meanwhile, variable clouds with a few fleeting intervals of sun will be the tenor of the day across much of the Northeast as a stagnant pool of cold air aloft promotes the development of stratocumulus clouds.

Careful study of MISR images of the western coast of Peru revealed that actinoform-like clouds showed up roughly a quarter of the time as distinct formations within the more common, stratocumulus clouds in that region.

In Takikawa, the temperature variation during the day and night is large, along with the condensation from the surrounding rivers forming stratocumulus clouds ( the puffy clouds ), it makes it a hidden spot to see the Unkai.

Closer examination showed that actinoform clouds occur worldwide in nearly every region where marine stratus or stratocumulus clouds are common, particularly off the western coasts of continents especially off Peru, Namibia in Africa, Western Australia, and Southern California.

One example of this is " stratocumulus cumulogenitus ", a stratocumulus cloud formed by the partial spreading of a cumulus type when there is a loss of convective lift . If the mother cloud undergoes a complete change in genus, it is considered to be a " mutatus " cloud.

On Wikipedia Commons, where I have previously categorised many cloud pictures, I would put that image under the categories Cumulus clouds and Stratocumulus clouds ( the flatness of the clouds, fractus-like in some areas, and forming a layer-like structure in the distance hint at this ) . ~ U ) 00 : 36, 8 March 2009 ( UTC)
