Hi - Instrument newbie here again. I have a question on how you determine the type of clouds you will encounter. Personally I do not want to go into cumulus. Stratiform would seem to be ok. So if I look at conus and I expect to encounter sct015, ovc020 and top220 would I assume there are cumulus starting at 2000 up to 22000 because of the height, but even if tops are 060 that could still be cumulus rising? What if I saw ovc020 and lyrd180? Layered with what kinds of clouds? What is my cue that no cumulus exist?
I admit not having studied enough, but could not find a quick answer on this one or completely missing something I should know or is right in front of me.
