		Oblak druhu Cirrocumulus má podobu tenkých, menších nebo větších skupin nebo vrstev bílých oblaků bez vlastního stínu, složených z velmi malých oblačných částí v podobě zrnek nebo vlnek apod.
		Cirrocumulus se většinou vyskytuje jako více méně rozsáhlé plochy, složené z velmi malých oblačných částí v podobě zrn nebo vln apod.
		Cirrocumulus se vyskytuje také v menších plochách v podobě čočky nebo mandle, často bývá velmi protáhlý, jeho obrysy jsou obvykle ostré.

		Cirrocumulus are thin, white patches, sheets or a layer of clouds without shading, composed of very small elements in the form of grains, ripples, etc., merged or separate, and more or less regularly arranged; most of the elements have an apparent width of less than one degree.
		Cirrocumulus differs from Cirrus and Cirrostratus in that it is rippled or subdivided into very small cloudlets; it may include fibrous, silky or smooth portions which, however, do not collectively constitute its greater part.
		Cirrocumulus differs from Altocumulus in that most of its elements are very small (by definition, of an apparent width less than one degree when observed at an angle of more than 30 degrees above the horizon) and without shading.

		Cirrocumulus generally occurs in more or less extensive sheets, consisting of very small elements in the form of grains, ripples, etc., (Plate 56).
		Cirrocumulus also occurs in patches in the shape of lenses or almonds, often very elongated and usually with well-defined outlines.
		Cirrocumulus is always associated with Cirrus or Cirrostratus, or results from the change in Cirrus or Cirrostratus.

		Cirrocumulus (little lamb) clouds are typically composed of ice crystals.
		Cirrocumulus clouds generally take on the form of regularly arranged, separated patches or ripples.
		When cirrocumulus clouds are widespread, especially if winds are from the western quadrants, storms are most likely within a day or so as these clouds are the upper air forerunners of large storm clouds located to the west.

		Altocumulus clouds resemble the tufted cirrocumulus clouds of the classic ‘mackerel sky’, but they are rather larger.

	Cirrocumulus
		The cirrocumulus formation is basically the same cloud as the stratocumulus and altocumulus but at higher altitude.
		This cirrocumulus is very thin and lets the sun shine through like from a blue sky.
		This cirrocumulus is very thick and a pattern is clearly seen so the cloud temperature is probably quite warm and at an early stage.

	AMS Glossary
		This species is found in the genera cirrus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, and sometimes also in stratocumulus.
		Cirrocumulus floccus sometimes evolves as the result of the dissipation of the common base of cirrocumulus castellanus; in like manner, altocumulus floccus may evolve from altocumulus castellanus.
		Cirrus floccus differs from cirrocumulus floccus in that its elements subtend an angle of greater than 1° when observed at an angle of more than 30° above the horizon.

		Cirrocumulus can be easily confused with altocumulus as it looks superficially similar.
		Their origin is similar to cirrocumulus floccus, but they have much longer, near horizontal trails, which may be due to stronger wind sheer.

		Like all high-level clouds, cirrocumulus is made of ice crystals.
		Cirrocumulus has no shading (which altocumulus usually has), and because it is so much higher, the cloudlets of cirrocumulus seems much smaller than those of altocumulus.

	Weather & Planning
		There are also seven variations of these basic cloud types that are commonly described: cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, altostratus, altocumulus, nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and cumulonimbus.
		Cirrocumulus clouds are delicate clouds appearing in bands or ripples across the sky.

		This is an example of fairly large-celled cirrocumulus, mostly cloudy and pretty much translucent.
		The cirrocumulus appears to be above a lower layer of much smoother cirrus.
		This indicates different wind characteristics in the two layers (probably turbulent at the higher level and much smoother at the lower level).
