154. Which clouds are described as high clouds, composed of small white flakes or scaly globular masses, and often banded together to form a «mackerel sky»?

Cirrocumulus clouds are high-altitude formations characterized by small, white patches or ripples, often arranged in patterns resembling a «mackerel sky.» This aligns with the question's description of high clouds with a flaked or scaly appearance, distinguishing them from cumulonimbus, altostratus, and cirrus clouds.
