Cumulonimbus Clouds
These clouds are also known as thunderstorms. Especially strong upward convection
associated with extreme instability in the atmosphere can lead to the nearly
explosive vertical development of these clouds. While their bases range from
near the ground to about 6,500 feet, their tops can extend well into the region
of the high clouds. Other vertically advanced clouds include nimbostratus
and towering cumulus clouds.
