Les,
That picture shows a field of small cumulus developing over land into an
essentially stable but moist environment. It as likely that the boundary
layer over the water would not support convection. The lowest cloud is Cu
hum pil, the next layer is Sc len cugen (some if not all), and Ac str tr
above.

Everybody -

Just back from Canada again.

This one's got me stumped. I think this is stratocumulus lenticularlis
duplicatus as the cloud deck above it is altocumulus. Opinions please....

The ship is Hapag Lloyd's Paris Express / callsign DIHE and this vessel
crops up in sailwx all the time if you like to follow VOS. Photo was
taken at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
