According to the "Standard Dictionary of Meteorological Sciences" (PROME), the "American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology" and the "Glossaire de météorologie et de climatologie" (VILME), "roll cloud" is a popular term for "arcus". According to the "American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology", "arcus" is also called a "shelf cloud". However, according to "<a href="http://meted.ucar.edu/mesoprim/glossary.htm" title="http://meted.ucar.edu/mesoprim/glossary.htm">http://meted.ucar.edu/mesoprim/glossary.htm</a>", "roll clouds" and "shelf clouds" are both types of "arcus clouds". 5, record 1, English, - arcus

Streaks or wisps of precipitation, such as water or ice particles, that fall from clouds but evaporate before reaching the ground. 6, record 2, English, - virga
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Virga is frequently seen trailing from altocumulus and altostratus clouds, but also is discernible below the bases of high-level cumuliform clouds from which precipitation is falling into a dry subcloud layer. It typically exhibits a hooked form in which the streaks descend nearly vertically just under the precipitation source but appear to be almost horizontal at their lower extremities. Such curvature of virga can be produced simply by effects of strong vertical wind shear, but ordinarily it results from the fact that droplet or crystal evaporation decreases the particle terminal fall velocity near the ends of the streaks. Under some conditions, virga are associated with dry microbursts, which are formed as a product of the evaporation. 7, record 2, English, - virga
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
They are actually altocumulus clouds from which precipitation is falling. Such trails of water droplets or ice particles are called virgae (or sometimes fallstreaks) and, by definition, do not reach the ground. 8, record 2, English, - virga

Fall streaks are the wisps that can sometimes be seen falling below high, thin cirrus clouds. They are ice crystals that fall out of the cloud but evaporate as they fall into drier air below. Fall streaks are analogous to another phenomenon known as "virga," which is rain falling from lower clouds and evaporating before it reaches the ground. 11, record 2, English, - virga

Funnel cloud is a condensation funnel extending from the base of a towering cumulus or Cb [cumulonimbus], associated with a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground (and hence different from a tornado). A condensation funnel is a tornado, not a funnel cloud, if either a) it is in contact with the ground or b) a debris cloud or dust whirl is visible beneath it. 8, record 3, English, - tuba
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The tornado and severe weather associated storm produce a recognizable radar echo structural organization resulting from an intense moist updraft. Some of these considerations are: ... A low-level pendant exists generally perpendicular to the storm motion and beneath the echo overhang, or a bounded weak echo region (BWER) exists. This pendant may be absent in low precipitation supercells. 6, record 3, English, - tuba
