CGI?[edit]

"to CGI effects used in movies such as Ghostbusters." Ghostbusters was made in 1984, I don't think it had any CGI. Algr (talk) 07:05, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name of this entry is wrong[edit]

Undulus asperatus → Undulatus Asperatus — There is no such cloud term as 'undulus'. It should be 'undulatus'. The author must have picked up this misspelling from an error in an article on the National Geographic website. That error has now been corrected ([1]) to say the correct term 'undulatus asperatus'.

I've moved the page as requested, per sources. Good thing, too, because Wikipedia mirrors were already inflating g-hits for the wrong spelling... -GTBacchus^(talk) 15:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rarity[edit]

The article has two confusing statements about rarity:

"Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a rare, newly recognized cloud formation ..."

and later:

"The ominous-looking clouds have been particularly common in the Plains states of the United States"

Which of these is true? -Miskaton (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
