Heh, based on the title, I thought this would be "10 Basic Clouds" for AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. in some sort of GoF "Design Patterns" lexicon.
Thought so too and I think it's a sign I need a break.

They have forums where people post neat cloud photos and if you sign up for membership they will send you an identification chart plus a journal for keeping track of the types you have seen.
Makes for a nice gift for that person you know who always goes "oh look at that cloud!" :)

Cloud formation is probably interesting example of spontaneous symmetry breaking, but that doesn’t seem to be much studied.

#39Sadly the website is offline, but if you like a hard copy cloud book I can heartily recommend the following. During my spell in Antarctica, I had to act as a meteorological observer (clouds are still manually encoded into METOBS that are entered in by WMO stations). This required learning the 10 types and being able to characterise the full picture of the sky. It made me a total cloud addict, and spurred a far deeper…
Are you able to know and/or predict things about the weather by knowing the different clouds?
Like cumulonimbus = thunderstorm, stratus = maybe rain, sure. But what about the others?
