Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox cloud

Altocumulus floccus is a cloud type named for its tuft-like, wooly appearance.[1] The base of the cloud can form as low as Шаблон:Convert, or as high as Шаблон:Convert. They often form in clusters, or patches, and bases can vary in height with differing atmospheric conditions within the PBL.[2] They are similar to Altocumulus castellanus, but often have a shallower vertical extent in comparison.[3]

Floccus clouds form when in the presence of conditional, often shallow, mid-level instability. On some occasions, such as the presence of a deeper unstable layer, these clouds can grow large enough to develop into thunderstorms.[4]
