The 12 pages that link to Cumulus cloud, each with the reason it gives.

• ThermalBroader topic: When rising thermal air cools to saturation, condensation can mark its top with cumulus.

• Cloud formationBroader topic: It is a visible example of cloud formation through localized convective ascent.

• Lifting condensation levelBroader topic: A rising convective parcel can begin forming a cumulus cloud near its condensation level.

• Cloud baseBroader topic: Its base often traces the condensation level of rising thermals.

• Stratus cloudCompared with: Its separate heaps contrast with stratus's continuous, featureless sheet.

• Cumulonimbus cloudCompared with: Small cumulus clouds show vertical growth before a storm develops.

• Stratocumulus cloudCompared with: Cumulus is more vertically developed and separated into individual clouds than stratocumulus.

• Cumulus humilisNarrower topic: Cumulus humilis is the shallowest, least vertically developed form in this cloud family.

• Cumulus mediocrisNarrower topic: Cumulus mediocris is one stage in this cloud family.

• Cirrocumulus cloudCompared with: Cumulus has larger, vertically developed heaps rather than cirrocumulus's tiny high-level elements.

• Cumulus congestus cloudNarrower topic: Congestus is the strongly developed, vertically extended form within the cumulus family.

• Fractus cloudRelated: Fractus can form beneath cumulus clouds as detached scraps.
