Which type of cloud forms at high altitudes does not produce precipitation and appears thin and wispy?
cirrus clouds
What type of clouds are wispy and are at high altitudes?
cirrus
What type of cloud is wispy and made of ice crystals?
Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy, found at heights greater than 20,000 feet and are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of super-cooled water droplets
If you saw thin wispy clouds followed by lower layered cloud what type of weather might you expect in the near future?
The thin, wispy clouds you saw are Cirrus clouds and they are very high in the atmosphere and made of ice crystals. They normally indicate a change in the weather, and it is usually bad weather. This means that the low layered cloud you saw was either a stratus or cumulonimbus cloud which are both storm clouds. Cirrus clouds don't always predict storms, but that was probably what was happening.
What type of clouds are wispy and occur very high altitude?
cirrus
What type of cloud are thin and white?
Cirrus clouds are ice clouds. They can look like delicate white feathers or streamers. They are always more than three miles up where the temperature is below freezing, even in summer. Wind currents twist and spread the ice crystals into wispy strands.Stratus clouds often look like thin, white sheets covering the whole sky. Since they are so thin, they seldom produce much rain or snow. Sometimes, in the mountains or hills, these clouds appear to be fog.
What does cirrus mean in weather?
A wispy and thin cloud that travels in tufts
What type of cloud is wispy curling cloud and signals approaching warm front?
Cirrus clouds
What are the different clouds in the sky?
The types of clouds are: cumulus, the fluffy white kind which are the most regular type, cumulonimbus and nimbus, which are rain clouds, and cirrus, which are wispy, high altitude clouds.
Is cirrostratus cloud low-level medium-level or high-level?
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
What type of precipitation does cirrus clouds produce?
Cirrus is a thin and wispy cloud which is high is the sky.Its made up of ice crystals and it brings fair weather. If you need for answers for a cloud just ask me. I know about Cumubnimbus,Stratus, and Cumulus.
What is Cirrus cloud?
A cirrostratus cloud is a high, thin, generally uniform stratiform type composed of ice-crystals. It is difficult to detect and is capable of forming halos when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus.
