Cloud Presets - What are the notations below the pictures of the clouds?

[AG-51_Razor]

I assume that they have something to do with the various cloud layers and/or cloud coverage but they never stay up long enough for me to get a good read on them. Does anybody have a print out of what they are for each preset and what they mean??

HC_Official, I appreciate the reply and the information. I would like to know more about the elevation/cloud heights listed for each preset. Specifically, do they remain constant and just go up and down with the base established in the ME. or do they remain fixed? I wish that ED had printed those METAR reports on the graphic display so that it remained visible all the time.

The cloud base of the preset is  adjustable with the cloud altitude slider within the constraints of the particular  preset. Have a play.

They arent really a valid METAR format, just using some of the abbreviations. They appear to be base and top altitude for each layer.

That is what I figured, but my problem is that it doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to read all the information. My original post - clumsily written I grant you - was to see if there was a list somewhere with all that information posted for each preset.
