Since the shelf cloud and roll clouds are subset of the arcus, they should be integrated into this article. This would make a more complete article instead of splitting the information among three articles.

I'm fine with the merger, and it makes sense at this point. If the article gets too large, then they should be split off again. — BRIAN0918 • 2008-06-16 18:07Z

About a decade or two ago, it was not uncommon over Toowoomba - about 100 miles inland, but on the eastern edge of The Great Dividing Range - saw it myself when visiting a couple of times, to be told by locals it was fairly regular. Over a decade of drought has since occurred, climate has changed and become hotter locally, and the phenomenon is now most uncommon. It would appear set back slightly west from the edge of the range running roughly parallel to it and stretch from horizon to horizon north to south, depending on humidity, winds and temperature conditions.
Sadly the local country paper has showed almost no interest so searching the net has proved unfruitful - one might find info from the much older printed version, which is much more time consuming. The Chronicle's online indexing system seems to confuse pretty sunrises, flowers, cafes and hamburgers all with that name :-) So unfortunately only PE as far as the rules here go .... but others may be able to follow up on it.

Now thet the Morld Meteorological Organisation classified roll clouds as species volutus, quite distinct from arcus shelf clouds, it is time to split the article again. Szczureq (talk) 10:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi there, I encountered the amazing phenomenon of the Arcus cloud while cruising in the Baltic sea. Luckily I managed to record it with my 360 gear so it is now documented on youtube. I think it'll be great if you add the link to it so people could actually see and feel what it's like.
Thank you very much,
