State whether the following is true or false.
Nimbostratus is classified as a middle level cloud although its base is often low.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: B

Correct answer: True

Nimbostratus is placed in the middle étage because that is where its greatest depth lies and where it is generated, even though the base is frequently low and ragged and the cloud may extend through all three levels. It is the deep, grey, precipitating sheet of a warm front, and the classification here follows the body of the cloud rather than its base.
