Cirrus (Ci)
Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both.

Cirrocumulus
Height of base: 20,000 - 40,000 ft
Latin: cirrus - lock or tuft of hair; cumulus - heap
Cirrocumulus clouds are lots of small white clouds - called cloudlets - grouped together at high levels. Composed almost entirely from ice crystals, the little cloudlets are regularly spaced, often arranged as ripples in the sky. They are relatively rare, and unlike altocumulus clouds, never have any shading.

Lenticular clouds
These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow across hills and mountains from the same or similar direction at different heights through the troposphere.
Height of base: 6,500 - 16,500 ft
Shape: Curved layers, like flying saucers
Latin: Altocumulus lenticularis “like a lens”

Virga clouds
What are virga?
Virga, from the Latin for 'rod' or 'branch' appear as light wisps which are attached to the base of a cloud and are often at their most striking when lit by a red sunset with a light wind extending the tail into a angled curve.

How does virga form?
Simply put, virga are trails of precipitation that fall from the underside of a cloud but evaporate or sublime before it can reach the earth's surface. This happens when falling rain or ice passes through an area of dry or warm air.
