• Cirrus: High-level clouds typically found at heights greater than 20,000 feet. They are thin and have a feathery appearance.
  
• Stratus: Essentially above-ground fog formed either through the lifting of morning fog or through cold air moving at low altitudes over a region. They are characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base.
