For example, the Carr Fire in July of 2018 had such intense heat inside those flames that it created pyrocumulus clouds.

例如，在2018年7月的卡尔大火中，火焰中的巨大热量造成了火积云的出现。

Large fires can also create their own thunderstorms. Known as pyro-cumulonimbus, they can cause erratic, more intense and dangerous bushfire behaviour.

大火也可以引发雷。这样的就是火积云雨，这往往引发不稳定的、更加强、危险的林火。

Besides the periodical shower-bearing cumuli there is a thin, diffused, fog-like cloud overhead.

Cumulus clouds, for example, get their start when solar energy evaporates water from oceans, plants, and soil by breaking the bonds that hold water molecules together.

例如积云，开始时阳光的能量切断水分子间的连结，让海洋、植物和土壤中的水蒸发。

A high, whispy cirrus cloud that descended and spread into a sheet was named cirrostratus, while groups of fluffy cumulus clouds that joined up and spread were named stratocumulus.

原本在高空中的纤薄的层云下降并且扩散成薄片状，被命名为卷层云。由大量蓬松的积云聚集并扩散而成的，则命名为层积云。

The beauty of Howard's system was that the basic components could be freely recombined to describe every shape and size of passing cloud--stratocumulus, cirrostratus, cumulocongestus, and so on.

霍华德体系的妙处在于，这些基本成分可以自由组合，描述空中飘过的每种形状、每种大小的云——一层积云、卷层云、积雨云等等。

In fact, all clouds belong to one of three principle types to which Howard gave the names: cirrus, Latin for tendril or hair, cumulus, heap or pile, and stratus, layer or sheet.

实际，所有的云属于三种基本形式之一，霍德华给它们命名为：卷云，来自于拉丁语中的卷须或头发，积云，堆积或积累，层云，层叠或片。

The last mile of its course lies between the sides of sunken domes and swelling folds of the granite that are clustered and pressed together like a mass of bossy cumulus clouds.

它路线的最后一英里位于凹陷的圆两侧和花岗岩的膨胀褶皱之间，花岗岩像一团专横的积云一样聚集并压在一起。

Pearl cumuli over the higher mountains—clouds, not with a silver lining, but all silver. The brightest, crispest, rockiest-looking clouds, most varied in features and keenest in outline I ever saw at any time of year in any country.

高山的珍珠积云——云，没有一线希望，但全是银色。这是我一年中任何时候在任何国家见过的最亮、最脆、看起来最像岩石的云，特征最多样，轮廓最清晰。
