The variety of intortus clouds is specific to cirrus clouds, and they appear as interwound strands of cirrus clouds with a purely random pattern.
Once aloft, air flows away from the storm's center, producing a shield of cirrus clouds.
Some of these extraterrestrial cirrus clouds are composed of ammonia or methane ice rather than water ice.
Balloon-carried hygrometers give information on the humidity of the cirrus cloud but are not accurate enough to measure the depth of the cloud.
In winter, the cirrus cloud cover did not vary appreciably from day to night.
This, in turn, would increase the cirrus cloud cover, effectively creating a positive feedback circuit.
The cirrus sclerites first appear beneath the outer epidermal membrane as an electron-dense area which subsequently increases in breadth towards the base.
The cirrus has a smooth surface with no visible armature.
