Clouds of the Day - Floccus (tufts of wool) - Saturday, September 30, 2023

October 03, 2023/ Craig Johnson

These clouds are Altocumulus floccus. Floccus is translated to be tufts of wool or resembling ragged wads of wool. The last photo looks like balls of cotton with ragged edges - also floccus. They occur in the middle levels of the atmosphere between 6,500 ft (2000 m) and 20,000 ft (6,000 m).
