altitudeMnumbernoHeight of the layer's base above the ground, metres, within 0..20000. Fair is 1500.
thicknessMnumbernoThickness of the layer, metres, within 100..10000. Fair is 2000; storm 6000.
densitynumbernoScale on the preset's cloud density, within 0..10. 1 is the preset's; higher is darker undersides and deeper shadows.
windSpeedMpsnumbernoWind speed at the layer, metres per second, within 0..100. The clouds drift with the simulation's clock (a paused or recorded game keeps them exact). Fair is about 8.5.
