NOTE: We've guessed that
you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried
to compensate. Low graphics mode looks much better on clients that
do... we recommend switching to Netscape 3.0 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

High-Level Clouds
High-level clouds form above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and since the
temperatures are so cold at such high elevations, these clouds are
primarily composed of ice crystals.
High-level clouds are typically
thin and white in appearance,
but can appear in a magnificent array of colors
when the sun is low on the horizon. |
