Relative Humidity

• Expresses the amount of moisture in air compared
  to maximum possible amount of moisture in air
• If a sample of air could hold 100 units of water
  and only has 63, then the RH 63/100 63.

Cloud Heights

• Low Clouds cumulus, fractocumulus,
  stratocumulus, stratus, fog, and fractostratus
  clouds. Found near the surface to about 6,500
  feet.
• Middle Clouds altocumulus, and altostratus
  clouds. Lenticular clouds are often typically
  included this family. Found around 6,500 to
  23,000 feet.
• High Clouds cirrus, cirrocumulus, and
  cirrostratus. Found around 16,500 to 45,000 feet.
  
• Vertically Advanced Clouds nimbostratus,
  towering cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. The
  bases of these vertically advanced clouds range
  from 1,000 feet (or lower) to a towering 10,000
  feet or higher.
