Cirro

In some, the nebulous matter of which they are composed can be seen like masses of tufted flocculi, sometimes piled up, and at other times promiscuously scattered, resembling in appearance the foam on the crested billows of a surging ocean rendered suddenly motionless, or cirro-cumuli floating in ❋ Thomas Nathaniel Orchard (N/A)

Uniform dense cirro-stratus, (S. fresh); noon showers all round; ❋ T. Bassnett (N/A)

The cirro-cumulus and the hazes become luminous when they are traversed by sufficiently energetic discharges of electricity, and when the light of day is no longer present to overcome their more feeble light. ❋ Various (N/A)

It was a dull afternoon, a low foggy stratus was driving rapidly across the sky at a low level, and through the general misty gloom of a northern winter day we could just make out some striated stripes of strato-cirrus -- low cirro-stratus -- between the openings in the lower cloud layer. ❋ Various (N/A)

All these were, so to speak, the mere outlying flakes, the feathery curls, of the balmy cirro-cumulus, whose huge bulk arose out of the bowels of the ship itself. ❋ Various (N/A)

Cirrus and cirro-stratus -- the very clouds we want most to observe -- are always thin and indefined as regards their form and contrast against the rest of the sky, so that this defect of the method is the more unfortunate. ❋ Various (N/A)

The sky was hazy with cirro-stratus and a fine halo "ringed" the sun. ❋ Douglas Mawson (1920)

That afternoon we noticed very fine iridescent colouring in cirro-cumulus clouds as they crossed the sun. ❋ Douglas Mawson (1920)

During the afternoon, the sun occasionally gleamed through a tract of cirro-stratus cloud and there was a very fine parhelion: signs of an approaching blizzard. ❋ Douglas Mawson (1920)

Earlier in the year, a double corona had been seen when the moon was shining through cirro-cumulus clouds. ❋ Douglas Mawson (1920)

The sky was covered with rapidly scudding, cirro-cumulus clouds which, by midday, quite obscured the sun, making surrounding objects and even the snow at our feet indistinguishable. ❋ Douglas Mawson (1920)

Away off on the horizon, though, you can see a bigger bunch of those festoons, dropping from the five-mile height of the cirro-stratus and condensing away down lower. ❋ Francis Rolt-Wheeler (1918)

"A high cirro-stratus which looks as if some cream had been poured on the blue sky and hadn't mixed properly yet," the Forecaster continued, ❋ Francis Rolt-Wheeler (1918)

The enormous white caps of nurses, their gay silk streamers fluttering behind them, the white-clad children, the light summer dresses of women; the patches of white newspaper held by other loungers on the seats; a dazzling bit of cirro-cumulus scudding across the clear Paris sky; the pale dome of the Panthéon rising to the East; the background of the ❋ William John Locke (1896)

The clouds (cirro-stratus) were, during the entire day, in horizontal lines and slight globular accumulations, the latter in a row and, taken ❋ Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1894)

The sky was in streaky horizontal clouds to the east, and thin misty clouds to the south -- cirro-stratus. ❋ Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1894)

Beneath a cirro-cumulus -- or mackerel sky -- again that day, wonderfully beautiful because of its perfection of design, we were gradually rising over the domed elevation we had previously observed, upon which we found masses of tiny pebbles -- what are known to geologists by the Italian name of "puzzolana" or _scoriæ_ reduced to a granular condition. ❋ Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1894)

The sky was slightly overcast during the march, with radiating cirro-stratus S.S.W. - N.N.E. Now very clear and bright again. ❋ Robert Falcon Scott (1890)

High overhead the long manes of racing cirro stratus streamed with flying gulls and hurrying water-fowl; plover piped incessantly, and a flock of timorous sand-pipers sought the low ridge of his cabin, while a wrecking crew of curlew hastily manned the uprooted tree that tossed wearily beyond the bar. ❋ Bret Harte (1869)

We saw them for about two minutes, when they gradually changed their form -- each letter changing its perpendicular for a horizontal position, and at length the whole becoming converted into that form of cloud denominated cirro-stratus. ❋ Various (1852)
