Altocumulus (Ac)

Altocumulus Duplicatus.jpg

Man Ray.jpg

In these images altocumulus duplicatus clouds are shown which can be described as two layers of altocumulus. The top layer is located in the upper two thirds of the image, whereas it is covered by a darker Ac-layer at the bottom.

The canvas was painted by the surrealist Man Ray. Here altocumulus perlucidus translidus clouds are shown at the left side of the background and a layer of dense altostratus clouds at the right hand side.
