Randall Kayfes:
Greg,

Thank you for the JPG version but I starting thinking there had to be a better resolution version...
A little digging at NASA and PDF = http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/cloud_chart/PDFs/NOAA-NASA-CloudChart.pdf
There is also a second page explaining cloud elevations, cloud cover, opacity and water cycle.
Here is the master page that has great cloud ID resources and a quiz - NASA who knew...
http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/cloud_chart/
Clouds clasified by elevations: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/srh/dad/sfc/metar/CloudChart.pdf

Finally check out this If Then guide to cloud identification http://wvscience.org/clouds/Cloud_Key.pdf

Thanks again Greg for the initial hit!

Anybody else got a great Cloud ID resource feel free to let us know - let's keep this thread going.

Great thread, Randall! Thank you from a rookie observer.  =D>

I found something that may help rank amateurs like me get started.

And I just found this for looking at things from satellites.
