If the cloud layer becomes grayer to the point when individual clouds can t be distinguished, stratocumulus turn into stratus clouds.
22.
Stratus clouds can also form in a similar manner to fog when the ambient air temperature decreases, increasing the relative humidity.

Calibration of the visible and near-infrared channels of NOAA-11 and NOAA-14 AVHRRs by using reflections from molecular atmosphere and stratus cloud.

A solid layer of low, gray stratus clouds will enhance the chill, holding daytime readings in the 60s from northern Michigan to upstate New York.

29.
"' Stratus clouds "'are low-level clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective or cumuliform clouds that are formed by rising thermals.
30.
A thick marine layer will fashion morning low clouds and fog along much of the coast of southern California, suppressing temperatures in places where stratus clouds persist.
