Definition
A type of cloud that combines features of cirrus (wispy, high-altitude) and cumulus (puffy, heaped) clouds, often appearing as small white patches in rippled patterns.
Etymology
From Latin cirrus (curl) + cumulus (heap). Formalized as a meteorological term in the 19th century cloud classification system developed by Luke Howard.
Kelly Says
The classic 'mackerel sky' pattern of cirrocumulus clouds forms when wind shear at high altitude creates those distinctive ripples—it's like watching invisible wind sculpt the sky!
