Do you mean high-altitude regions? If so, it isn't so much that the cloud is low but that the land is high. The higher the altitude - the best example is a mountaintop - the nearer you will be to the clouds.

High-latituderegions are areas remote from the equator, that is, the polar regions. In the Arctic, for example, the condition of sea ice - which changes seasonally - affects the nature of cloud cover. Cloud properties in these regions have been changing over the past few decades, but the heaviest cloud cover occurs during the warmer months.

As with all terrestrial regions, height, type and density of cloud cover depends on many factors, all of which continually vary. This keeps those who study weather and climates - meteorologists and specialist climatologists - extremely busy.
