Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Formerly known as Undulatus asperatus, Asperitas is a relatively new cloud formation recognized by the World Meteorological Organization in the International Cloud Atlas in 2017; they were the first new clouds to be introduced since cirrus intortus in 1951. Varying levels of illumination and thickness of the cloud can lead to dramatic visual effects.
