A nephoscope is an instrument used to measure the altitude and angle of clouds in the sky by visually tracking their movement relative to the instrument. By observing the movement of clouds against the gridded field of view of the nephoscope, the observer can estimate the cloud base height and direction.
The low-altitude billowy cloud is called cumulus cloud.
A nephoscope is an instrument used to measure the height, direction, and velocity of clouds. It works by reflecting sunlight off the cloud and measuring the angles of reflection to determine cloud characteristics.

This cloud is located in the middle altitude category, known as an altostratus cloud. Altostratus clouds typically form between 2 to 6 kilometers above the ground.
There are a number of ways to describe locations or positions. One of these is to describe the direction toward an object in degrees; this is the "azimuth". For objects in the sky, we must also know the angular elevation above the horizon, or "altitude angle". This is usually shortened to "altitude". By specifying the azimuth angle and altitude angle, we can describe precisely the direction of any object in the sky.
The altitude of St. Cloud, MN is approximately 1,132 feet (345 meters) above sea level.
