Now, Asperitas clouds are  thought to be mostly a supplementary feature of stratiform clouds, which are low elevation  layered clouds without vertical development, although asperitas have also been observed to  be stratocumulus or altocumulus.

现在， 阿斯佩里塔云被认为主要是层状云的补充特征，层状云是低海拔层状云， 没有垂直发展，尽管阿斯佩里塔也被观察到是层积云或高积云。
