Nimbostratus cloud over the dutch landscape
Nimbostratus cloud over the dutch landscape
Nimbostratus are dark, low-level clouds accompanied by light to moderately falling precipitation. Low clouds are primarily composed of water droplets since their bases generally lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). However, when temperatures are cold enough, these clouds may also contain ice particles and snow.
The sun or moon is not visible through nimbostratus clouds, which distinguishes them from mid-level altostratus clouds. Because of the fog and falling precipitation commonly found beneath and around nimbostratus clouds, the cloud base is typically very diffuse and difficult to accurately determine. So if a metereologist corrects me, I'll be happy, because learning new things is a good thing.
This weather picture was taken in South-Holland , the Netherlands, in the early evening.
