Small, rounded, white puffs occurring individually or in long rows are typical of cirrocumulus clouds, which are high clouds found at altitudes of 20,000 feet or higher. Stratocumulus clouds are low clouds that typically appear as a low, lumpy layer, cirrostratus are thin, layered clouds that can cover the entire sky, and cirrus clouds are high, wispy clouds that are typically thin and featherlike in appearance.
