A large white puffy cloud that develops through convection. On a hot, humid day, they can form towers and even become cumulonimbus clouds

Ironically, there is something rather cloudlike about the multiple complaints surrounding Google. The issues are best parted into two cumuli: a set of “public” arguments about how to regulate Google; and a set of “private” ones for Google’s managers, to do with the strategy the firm needs to get through the coming storm.

– These clouds have a flat base and a dense, mound shaped top that resembles a large cauliflower Where the sun hits these clouds they are a brilliant white
Clouds that exhibit vertical growth and are caused by convective processes
Cumulus is a type of thick white cloud formed when hot air rises very quickly. huge cumulus clouds. a thick white cloud with a flat bottom edge
SeeCloud
A cloud in the shape of individual detached domes, with a flat base and a bulging upper portion resembling cauliflower
A type of cloud form with massive or globular appearance
A dense, white, fluffy, flat-based cloud with a multiple rounded top and a well-defined outline, usually formed by the ascent of thermally unstable air masses
One of the three basic cloud forms (the others are cirrus and stratus) It is also one of the two low cloud types A cloud that develops in a vertical direction from the base (bottom) up They have flat bases and dome- or cauliflower-shaped upper surfaces The base of the cloud is often no more than 3,000 feet above the ground, but the top often varies in height Small, separate cumulus are associated with fair weather (cumulus humilis) With additional heating from the earth's surface, they can grow vertically throughout the day The top of such a cloud can easily reach 20,000 or more into the troposphere Under certain atmospheric conditions, these clouds can develop into larger clouds, known as towering cumulus (cumulus congestus), and may produce a rain shower Further development may create a cumulonimbus
{i} pile; large white cloud formation having a flat base and high puffy peaks
a collection of objects laid on top of each other
Detached clouds, generally dense and with sharp outlines, showing vertical development in the form of domes, mounds, or towers Tops normally are rounded while bases are more horizontal See Cb, towering cumulus
a globular cloud
the family of hill-shaped clouds ranging from small cumulus humilis to large cumulonimbus The term on its own usually denotes cumulus humilis or only slightly larger
aka Cus pronounced "queues" The CFI remembers being an ab and hearing someone say "look at those Cus" and looking for lines of gliders
A principal, low cloud-type in the form of individual cauliflower-like cells of sharp non-fibrous outline and less vertical development than cumulonimbus
a cloud of a class characterized by dense individual elements in the form of puffs, mounds or towers, with flat bases and tops that often resemble cauliflower They are found at a lower altitude than altocumulus, usually below 8000 ft (2400 m)
A principal cloud type in the form of individual, detached elements which are generally dense, low-level with vertical development and possess sharp nonfibrous outlines These elements develop vertically, appearing as rising mounds, domes, or towers, the upper parts of which often resemble a cauliflower The sunlit parts of these clouds are mostly brilliant white; their bases are relatively dark and nearly horizontal Near the horizon, the vertical development of cumulus often causes the individual clouds to appear to be merged If precipitation occurs, it is usually of a showery nature
One of the four principal forms of clouds
cumulus clouds
large white puffy clouds generally appearing during fair weather
cumulus congestus
Cumulus clouds which are markedly sprouting and are often of great vertical extent with tops resembling a cauliflower Their heights exceed the dimensions of their bases
cumulus congestus
a moderate or large cumulus cloud, growing conspicuously
cumulus congestus
A strongly sprouting cumulus cloud with generally sharp outlines and often with great vertical development It may occur as tower-like clouds with cauliflower tops These clouds may produce abundant showers and may develop further into cumulonimbus
cumulus congestus
(or simply Congestus) - Same as towering cumulus
cumulus congestus
A large cumulus cloud with great vertical development, usually with a cauliflower-like appearance, but lacking the characteristic anvil shaped top of a Cb
