As more and more stations
like Ben Nevis were set up,
00:00:03.236 --> 00:00:04.904
and people could sit
and look at the weather
00:00:05.996 --> 00:00:07.105
as it shifted and changed,
they noticed
00:00:07.206 --> 00:00:09.274
that it made distinct patterns.
00:00:09.376 --> 00:00:12.044
So, in good victorian style,
they cataloged them;
00:00:12.045 --> 00:00:15.013
and in the 1890s,
came up with an official
00:00:15.114 --> 00:00:18.316
international cloud atlas,
which gave clouds the names
00:00:18.318 --> 00:00:21.154
