Low Clouds

Low Clouds is a tropospheric cloud category characterized by horizontally extensive cloud layers with bases generally below about 2 km (≈6,500 ft) above ground level, forming within the planetary boundary layer and closely interacting with surface topography in contrast to mid-level and high clouds that occur at higher altitudes.
