It gets real complicated when the ceiling is broken or scattered, or there are multiple layers to the ceiling. common here would be a report that said C700SCT, 1000BKN, 4000 OVC & V25.

Meaning there are three different cloud levels, 700 scattered (1-50% coverage), 1000 broken (60-90%covered) 4000 Overcast (90+% covered). Heh.... How much did you want to know? ;~D

Oh, I don't know.

How about for typical South Florida skies: clear skies with scattered cumulus clouds at c.2500 ft. and with scattered cumulonimbus over the Everglades, I don't know exactly how low they are, but pretty low, and with tops to 37,000'.

But there is plenty of room to maneuver an airplane around the cumulonimbus and the cumulus are no problem, except for a few bumps.

So does this mean we can discuss the weather even more than we already do?
