Detailed explanation-1: -The three main types of high clouds are cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus. Cirrus clouds are wispy, feathery, and composed entirely of ice crystals. They often are the first sign of an approaching warm front or upper-level jet streak.
Detailed explanation-2: -High clouds form in the highest and coldest region of the troposphere from about 5 to 12 km (16, 500 to 40, 000 ft) in temperate latitudes. At this altitude water almost always freezes so high clouds are generally composed of ice crystals or supercooled water droplets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cirrus clouds are the highest of all clouds and are composed entirely of ice crystals.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cirrus clouds form very high in the atmosphere, usually between 15, 000 and 30, 000 feet above ground, and occur year-round in the Keys. Type 1 cirrus are very thin and whispy, and are usually in the shape of strands and hooks, or looking like feathers or horse tails.
