ice-crystal cloud
A cloud consisting entirely of ice crystals (such as cirrus); to be distinguished in this sense from water clouds and mixed clouds. Ice-crystal clouds have a diffuse and fibrous appearance, quite different from that typical of water droplet clouds, resulting from growth in much weaker updrafts and different fall speeds of a wider size particle spectrum.
