Editing Stratocumulus cloud (section)

== Pattern-based varieties ==
'''Stratocumulus Undulatus''' clouds appear as nearly parallel waves, rolls or separate elongated clouds, without significant vertical development.<ref name="Varieties"/>

'''Stratocumulus Radiatus''' clouds appear as the same as stratocumulus undulatus, but stratocumulus undulatus move perpendicular to the wind shear, while stratocumulus radiatus move parallel to the wind shear.

'''Stratocumulus Duplicatus''' clouds appear as stratocumulus clouds with two or more layers or sheets. Stratocumulus duplicatus is common on species lenticularis or [[lenticular cloud]].

'''Stratocumulus Lacunosus''' clouds are very uncommon. They only occur when there are localized [[downdrafts]] striking through the stratocumuliform cloud.
