- Definição1
- A type of low cloud that usually forms a uniform gray cloud sheet. A stratus has no particular form and usually covers the whole sky. The stratus sheet is normally thicker and darker than the high altostratus that may be overlying it. These frequently altostratus become broken and blown. The evaporating fog normally results in the formation of low-stratus clouds.
