The list of cloud types is a summary of classifications and photographs. The ten main genus - types in the troposphere are grouped into altitude - levels; high (cirrus, cirrocumulus, cirrostratus), middle (altocumulus, altostratus), multi-level (nimbostratus, cumulus, cumulonimbus), and low (stratocumulus, stratus). Small cumulus are commonly grouped with the low clouds because they do not show significant vertical extent. Of the multi-level genus - types, those with the greatest convective activity are often grouped separately as towering vertical
