    Hello 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😊.

    The Christmas-feel assignment may be tough, but it is easily given Michael😊.

    What do you think of this one?

    Great start of a new volume for B&W’s, Michael. Your start has a Christmas feel.

    I recognize the grey autumn – now over here – in your Nimbostratus Morning, Ruth.

    Arizona Sunset #136 looks like a ghostly Billy, Michael. Love it.

    As I do the last softly colored sunset by Ruth titles Thinking Cranberries and the fiery last one as well.

    Gregory your return here with Golden is marvelous. I see a lonely warrior on a horse riding into a hostile burning distance. Could have been the Lord of the Rings.

    Spectacular images Gregory. I still hope for new solar winds since I missed the opportunity to see it over here in the Netherlands. The aurora was also visible here.

    Here something more or less familiar: two faithful dogs accompanying the sun.

    Great wide views over over the mountains, fields, waters and sky in this thread. Love the blues in your impressive shelf clouds Greg. Here is one with blues of a different nature.

    Wow, that’s a great Banshee that you spotted Keelin. What is she wailing about?

    Arizona Color #172 has a Halloween feel, Michael. Love it. As I do love ‘Raining down there somewhere’, Ruth.

    Hello Ruth, I think it is time to accompany you in  this trail. Contrails may be not the most loved clouds, but they can surprise in a lot of ways. It is always fun to spot their crazy appearances.
