What is Low Clouds?
A term used to identify clouds with a base height below 6,000 feet in the observer's direction. Stratiform clouds consist of stratus and stratocumulus clouds, while cumuliform clouds include cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. The cloud base heights vary according to the warm or cold regions.
