Many thanks Michael for your explanation. It is fun to read about that the origin being Haïti makes it a Pineapple monsoon.
I am a bit puzzled about the Pineapple silk which you compare with Pineapple spears. Pineapple silk appears to be a fabric and might not be that tasty all be it once in a lifetime.Unfortunately your #99 is not visible.
This is an old one with swirls. Let’s see whether I can upload it…
Yes, uploaded. No bothering AI filters here.I love the thin swirling veils in #95, Michael. And the accompanying text as well. Very interesting, but what is a Pineapple monsoon? Can you explain?
🙃
Hello Marie, your strange cloud looks to me like a ragged lenticularis. What do you think? Is there any mountainous terrain nearby?
Thanks too Michael. #176 seems to be one of your favorite layered ones. You are so right about peculiarity. Here is another ….
Weirdo?
Very nice ones Robert. They all show more or less the same features imo. Nice to see development in a series of the same sky.
😊
Hello Robert, your images show both lacunosus, like Richard suggests. According to ts soft and large features I think it is Altocumulus. The second image has in comparison also the streaky features of Cirrus. That makes me think that some of the altocumulus has developed into cirrus (altocumulogenitus). What do you think?
Ruth your Calm Sky for the dinner hour makes hungry for more.
Great skies Robert. With the image before your lenticular hamburger (love it) you asked: Cirrus but what variety? I give it a try. I think you spotted Cirrus vertebratus. They stretch from left to right. There is also one diagonal line almost perpendicular to the lines of vertebratus. It has the features of a fallstreak hole (or distrail?).
Are there any other opinions?The sun has just set
I love the golden colors in Cotton Candy, Ruth. Yes, we are having fun, Michael and seemingly you too. Love your last composition in white and a bit of blue (#175).
Just PeculiarThanks Michael. There is silken virga in your B&W #2403. Love it. Indeed Fine As Silk, Ruth! And an impressive example of a banner cloud in White Mountain Christmas Gregory. You must be in the mood already😊.
Window Of OpportunityHello Isabelle, in the ICA itself is an appendix with the history of cloudnames: History of cloud nomenclature .
I don’t find vernacular names in this appendix and according to me it seems that the use of Latin names started before 1932. There is also a Historical bibliography Historical bibliography and the History of the ICA .Unfortunately the article you mention is not freely available. The abstract of the article emphasizes that “cloud classification depended crucially on description by omission” like “what caricature is for face recognition”. Interesting enough, but what role play vernicural names in this article? Do you have examples?

Your link just leads to a version of the home page, but not to any images. I don’t know what you intended to do or actually did.
When you want to share images on this Forum (as I presume you tried to do) you see the box in which you typed your text. Above in the box there are several editing icons of which the last and most right one is the image-icon (just right from the link-icon with which you can insert a link). When you click on it you start the upload procedure of an image. Just add some text, then submit and your image is published on this Forum. Nothing complicated, just easy.
When you want to share an image on the Gallery you have to upload it. Go to the Gallery (first option in the main menu) and you see at the top right of the first Gallery page a button with “Submit a Photo”. Just click on it and you will find your way to upload an image. The editor will publish the image within a few days after you have uploaded it.
Success, and I look forward to your images.
And then there is also the possibility to share images in the Community (third entry of the main menu). Anyone can see what’s shared over there but to participate you have to make a Profile. There is a lot to discover on the CAS site😊.
