Clouds with a base above 20,000 feet including cirrus, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus clouds are known as High clouds.
Cirrocumulus clouds are part of the high cloud group. When cirrocumulus clouds look like this picture, it is called a "mackerel sky " because the clouds look like the scales on a mackerel fish.
The high cloud group consists of Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and Cirrocumulus clouds. High clouds are made of ice crystals due to the cold air in the upper sky. The base of a high cloud above the surface can be anywhere from 6000-18000m in the tropics to 3000-6000m in the polar regions.
