Sorry -- those are the standard weather abbreviations for cumulonimbus
and towering cumulus.

You can see and avoid both when you're VFR -- if you're on top, they
stick out high above the surrounding clouds (CB often goes right to
the stratosphere, where it spreads out into an anvil), and if you're
underneath, you can see the heavy rain showers and possibly lightning.
When you're IFR in IMC, you can fly into one with no warning and
possibly tear your plane to pieces.


All the best,


David
