contessa del vento A type of cloud that typically has a rounded base and a bulging upper surface. Sometimes a number of separate discs of this cloud-form extend one above another. Such cloud occurs on the lee side of distinct mountains within an eddy zone. In the case of Mt Etna the cloud is related to a westerly air stream.
