Magnificent Cumulonimbus Mammatus Clouds Mammatus cloud. mammatus (also called mamma[1] or mammatocumulus, meaning "mammary cloud") is a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud, typically a cumulonimbus raincloud, although they may be attached to other classes of parent clouds. the name mammatus is derived from the latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"). In fact, most clouds are formed by rising air. but mammatus clouds are interesting in part because they’re formed by sinking air. they appear ominous. and they do signify storms. but, in a way.
Mammatus Clouds Reiner S Travel Photography Abstract mammatus clouds are an intriguing enigma of atmospheric fluid dynamics and cloud physics. most commonly observed on the underside of cumulonimbus anvils, mammatus also occur on the underside of cirrus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, and stratocumulus, as well as in contrails from jet aircraft and pyrocumulus ash clouds from volcanic eruptions. Also known as ‘mammatus’, these ‘supplementary features’ hang down from a layer of cloud in smooth or rough pouches that often have the appearance of udders (which is what ‘mamma’ means in latin). with such an otherworldly appearance, mamma are a must have for any cloud collection. they can be found on a whole range of cloud types. The shape of mammatus formations can vary widely; from the classic protruding shape, to a more elongated tube hanging from the cloud above. how do mammatus clouds form? mammatus clouds are usually formed in association with large cumulonimbus clouds. typically, turbulence within the cumulonimbus cloud will cause mammatus to form, especially on. 1. mammatus clouds are pouch like structures that typically form below the base of a cumulonimbus cloud formation. 2. they are the result of cold sinking air and predominantly consist of ice. 3. although many theories and hypotheses exist, their development remains largely unknown. 4.
