Eumetsat Animation from the Norwegian Weather Service
http://www.yr.no/satellitt/europa_animasjon.html


Looking at that animation there seem to be several types of cloud. For
instance to the west of the UK is the the thick cyclonic cloud but flowing
into it further west is broken cloud. West of that again is thicker cloud.
Do each of these cloud types have names? Or are they recognisable as
standard cloud types such as alto cumulus (sp.)?

Cheers, Alastair.
