L'Organisation météorologique mondiale (O.M.M.) a adopté en 1954, une classification qui se retrouve dans l'Atlas international des nuages (1956); elle est surtout fondée sur l'altitude des différents genres de nuages et sur leur aspect pour un observateur placé sur la Terre. Cette classification distingue quatre familles de nuages, subdivisées en 10 genres principaux: [nuages supérieurs, moyens, inférieurs et nuages à développement vertical]. 4, record 1, French, - famille%20de%20nuages
