Low-level, stable, non-precipitating cloud layer. The airmass above the stratus layer may be distinctly different (drier, warmer). In this case, the base is about 500 m MSL and the top about 2.3 km. The mountain in the distance is Mt Rainier in ... Shallow, stable, non-precipitating cloud. ... Mid-level (about 2-8 km),

Stratiform clouds are, by definition, stably stratified, and stratiform precipitation results from such clouds. ... Raindrop growth in a stratiform cloud is slow, so its rain consists of small drops. Convective rainfall is heavier and the drops are larger.

Stratiform or Stratus Clouds; A cloud-type extending a long, low, gray layer with an almost uniform base with extensive coverage at different altitudes. There are three groups of stratiform clouds: high level (above 20,000 ft.), middle level (6,500-20,000 ft.), and low level (below 6,500 ft.). Both rime and glaze icing...
