What types of clouds might we find forming in a stable atmosphere? Describe the characteristics of these clouds
?
We could expect to find status, cirrostratus, altostratus, or nimbostratus clouds to form in a stable atmosphere. Since air in a stable atmosphere strongly resists upward vertical motion, these clouds will tend to spread out horizontally if forced to rise. If clouds form in this rising air, they will also spread horizontally in relatively thin layers and usually have flat tops and bases.
