| cloud characteristics/properties
Explanation:
I'm not sure that there is a single word in English which corresponds to this; "cloud characteristics" or "cloud properties" ought to cover the definition given. See also this dictionary entry:
nefelismo m. (meteorol.) characteristics of cloud formations

(p. 793)
Presumably it comes from Nephele in Greek mythology - cf. eolico (wind) from Aeolus.
