Unafraid of the ocean's power, they blithely reach out their cirri to capture tiny plankton.

Slender sheaves of cirrus clouds were followed on the horizon by layers of nimbocumulus. Other low clouds fled swiftly.

On any given day odds are you'll see several contrails, some slowly spreading out to form high, cirrus clouds.

AACPs are the wispy, cirrus clouds that form near the overshooting tops.

AACP是在超冲顶部附近形成云。

A high, whispy cirrus cloud that descended and spread into a sheet was named cirrostratus, while groups of fluffy cumulus clouds that joined up and spread were named stratocumulus.

原本在高空中薄层云下降并且扩散成薄片状，被命名为层云。由大量蓬松积云聚集并扩散而成，则命名为层积云。

Storms that were strong enough to make these features--called above anvil cirrus plumes, or AACPs-- were also more likely to have severe tornadoes, large hail, and high winds.

足以形成这些特征风暴——称为铁砧云羽上方，或 AACPs——也更有可能产生强龙风、大冰雹和大风。

In fact, all clouds belong to one of three principle types to which Howard gave the names: cirrus, Latin for tendril or hair, cumulus, heap or pile, and stratus, layer or sheet.

实际上，所有云属于三种基本形式之一，霍德华给它们命名为：云，来自于拉丁语中须或头发，积云，堆积或积累，层云，层叠或片。

His tail floats now behind him, now above him, level or gracefully curled like a wisp of cirrus cloud, every hair in its place, clean and shining and radiant as thistle-down in spite of rough, gummy work.
