It is 1803. There is an English pharmacist. His name is like two first names. It is Luke Howard. He decides to establish a convention for naming clouds. He uses Latin. There is nothing unusual about this. You too can make such decisions.
cirrostrattus
strattonimbulus
fracctostrattus
Altocumulus nimbulatis
All in all there are ten main cloud types. They are subdivided into subtypes. See what havoc you can reek when you name things?
