      Hiya, Paul, interesting indeed.

      It seems to me NASA have their own terminology, since I have not seen ‘rope clouds’ in the popular media. Is there a NASA Glossary??

      That being said, the term is obviously common among meteorologists (following one or two of the links even back to the 1980s).

      Many thanks, ‘H’
