Patches Used with fog to denote random occurrence over relatively small areas.
PDS Watch Slang for a tornado watch with enhanced wording meaning this is a Particularly Dangerous Situation.
Patches- Used with fog to denote random occurrence over relatively small areas.
Pendant Echo- Radar signature generally similar to a hook echo, except that the hook shape is not as well defined.
(SID) (Class C flare)CICirrus clouds- High-level clouds (16,000 feet or higher), composed of ice crystals and appearing in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands.
Cirrus are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals and often appear as veil patches or strands.
cirrocumulusA cirriform cloud characterized by thin, white patches, each of which is composed of very small granules or ripples. These clouds are of high altitude (20,000-40,000 feet or 6000-12,000 meters).
Stratus often occurs in the form of ragged patches, or cloud fragments (stratus fractus), in which case rapid transformation is a common characteristic. Stratus clouds have characteristically low vertical velocities, usually less than 1 m s-1.
IridescenceBrilliant patches of green or pink sometimes seen near the edges of high- or medium-level clouds.Isentropic liftLifting of air that is traveling along an upward-sloping isentropic surface.
Mare's TrailThe name given to thin, wispy cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals that appear as veil patches or strands, often resembling a horse's tail.
STRATOCUMULUS A low cloud composed of layers or patches of cloud elements.
A low cloud composed of layers or patches of cloud elements. It can form from cumulus clouds becoming more stratiformed and often appears as regularly arranged elements that may be tessellated, rounded, ...
altocumulus—White or gray layers or patches of cloud, often with a waved appearance; cloud elements appear as rounded masses or rolls; composed mostly of liquid water droplets which may be supercooled; ...
High-level clouds (5000 metres or more) composed of ice crystals and appearing in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands.
In addition to true desert oases, the oasis effect is also characteristic of natural bodies of water in arid surroundings, melting snow patches, irrigated fields in arid areas, or irrigated urban lawns and parks.
Altocumulus: a cloud of a class characterized by globular masses or rolls in layers or patches, the individual elements being larger and darker than those of cirrocumulus and smaller than those of stratocumulus.
Very high waves with long overhanging crests; the resulting foam in great patches is blown in dense white streaks; the surface of the sea takes on a white appearance; the tumbling of the sea becomes heavy with visibility affected.

Stratus may appear in the form of ragged patches, but otherwise does not exhibit individual cloud elements as do cumulus and stratocumulus clouds. It usually is located between the ground and 6,500 feet. It usually consist of mainly water vapor.
Stratocumulus (Sc): Low clouds that appear in rows or patches and are white or gray in color.
Stratopause: The top of the stratosphere, delineating the stratosphere from the mesosphere.
Stratus - A low, generally gray cloud layer with a fairly uniform base. Stratus may appear in the form of ragged patches, but otherwise does not exhibit individual cloud elements as do cumulus and stratocumulus clouds.
Cirrus (Ci) A principal high-level cloud type (cloud genus), appearing as a detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands.
They are thin, delicate ice-crystal clouds often appearing as veil-like patches or thin, wispy fibers.
Climate A description of aggregate weather conditions; the sum of all statistical weather information that helps describe a place or region.
Cirrus
Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands. These clouds have a fibrous (hair-like) appearance, or a silky sheen, or both.
Yellow Snow: 1) Snow which has a yellow or golden colour due to the presence of pine or cypress pollen in or on it. 2) Snow patches with a yellow colour which has been contaminated by urine (usually from dogs).
Altocumulus clouds (Ac) Middle clouds consisting of roll-like patches or puffs forming a wavy pattern.
The name given to thin, wispy cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals that appear as veil patches or strands, often resembling a horse's tail.

Altocumulus
A middle cloud, usually white or gray. Often occurs in layers or patches with wavy, rounded masses or rolls.
Beaufort Force 11 - Winds 56-63 kt, Violent Storm, Exceptionally high (30 -45 ft) waves, foam patches cover sea, visibility more reduced.
Cirrus - a high-level cloud (16,000 feet or more) which is composed mostly of ice crystals and has the appearance of white, delicate filaments in patches or narrow bands ...
Similarly, most gliders soar on thermal plumes that rise through the troposphere above warm patches of ground; these plumes end at the base of the stratosphere, setting a limit to how high gliders can fly in most parts of the world.
Its water is unusually warm and salty and often is covered with patches of seaweed called sargassum (sea grapes in Portuguese). This area is a very important region for tropical cyclone and oceanic extratropical storm formation.
"I knew there was a frost warning but I didn't think it was going to hit as hard as it did," said Weinsteiger. Even if she knew of the frost's severity, Weinsteiger said, "I just can't cover everything." Checks at local pumpkin patches found that, ...
