They are often characterized by sharp outlines and great vertical development.

As a result, he said, "you will see the redevelopment of existing sites and more vertical development."

They have a limited depth (technically known as showing no significant vertical development).

They achieve considerable vertical development (family D2) in areas of deep, moist convection.

"Speaking of vertical development, I thought hot water was supposed to take the starch out of this."

Aesthetically, in Italy the vertical development was rarely important.

Cumulus congestus clouds look similar, except that they have some vertical development.

Cumulus clouds have a noticeable vertical development and defined edges.

The Commission, however, encourages regional co-operation and condemns vertical development.

The model includes an inner core where land is expensive and used intensively, resulting in vertical development.

Stratocumulus cumulifomis clouds resemble cumulus clouds, because of significant vertical development.

BLT went on to lead all of the vertical development of Harbor Point.

Weak convective currents create shallow cloud layers because of drier, stable air above preventing continued vertical development.

Stratiform clouds appear as extensive sheet-like layers, ranging from thin to moderately thick with some vertical development.

They form in the evening, when updrafts caused by convection decrease making cumulus clouds lose vertical development and spread horizontally.

Stratocumulus undulatus clouds appear as nearly parallel waves, rolls or separate elongated clouds, without significant vertical development.

They also can occur under altostratus cloud preceeding a warm or occluded front, when cumulus usually lose vertical development as the sun's heat decreases.

A cumulus cloud initially forms as a cloudlet of the species fractus or humilis that shows only slight vertical development.

An atypical vertical development of storm clouds brought unusual thundersnow to southern New England and Long Island.

This normally occurs with altostratus opacus, which can produce widespread but usually light precipitation, and with thicker clouds that show significant vertical development.

This was a marked departure from previous IBM strategy, which centered around in-house vertical development of complicated mainframe systems and their requisite access terminals.

In recent years, like the rest of Central Santo Domingo the neighborhood has seen increased vertical development with the construction of mid and high-rise development.

Analogous to the meteorological distinction between cumulus and cumulonimbus, the pyrocumulonimbus is a fire-aided or -caused convective cloud but with considerable vertical development.

It retains the same features as a normal nimbostratus cloud; dark in appearance, low to medium level cloud of moderate vertical development and made up of sheets.

Meteorological indices such as convective available potential energy (CAPE) and the lifted index can be used to assist in determining upward vertical development of clouds.
