Title: the speed of clouds.

Has anyone measured the speed of clouds? Is the speed affected by the clouds size and height?

Cannot see why size would make the least impact, since clouds are not subject to any frictional forces; but height certainly will, as in general, wind speed if higher at higher altitude.
