[video] Stratocumulus perlucidus clouds

Just for intermezzo!

According to Wikipedia, Stratocumulus perlucidus is a layer of stratocumulus clouds with small spaces, appearing in irregular pattern, through which clear sky or higher clouds can be seen.

Stratocumulus means a sheet of lumpy clouds. Stratus is sheet; cumulus is lumpy or humpy. Perlucidus means the light goes around it — the sheet does not cover the sky. In fact, convection in the center of the sheet makes it high there while the edges are not growing.
