cirrus clouds (clouds, earth features, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments, mostly white patches or narrow bands. They may have a fibrous (hair-like) and/or silky sheen appearance. Cirrus clouds are always composed of ice crystals, and their transparent character depends upon the degree of separation of the crystals. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Afzonderlijke wolken in de vorm van witte, fijne nevels, grotendeels witte plukken of dunne linten. Ze kunnen een vezel-, haar- en/of zijdeachtig uiterlijk hebben. Cirruswolken bestaan altijd uit ijskristallen, en hun doorzichtigheid hangt af van de mate van afscheiding van de kristallen. |
