Cirrus — reveals the architecture of the upper wind
The cirrus traces what instruments cannot — upper winds rendered in ice at altitudes above six thousand metres.
Cumulus — measures the earth's own warmth
Each flat base marks the condensation level precisely — a daily barometer written in water vapour and ascending air.
Stratus — holds the stillness between seen and unseen
Formed when air cools without rising, veiling the horizon in a boundary defined by temperature alone.
Nimbus — names itself by what it gives
The only form defined by its consequence rather than its appearance — structure that dissolves into what it produces.
