So, what exactly is a "Cloudbreak Procedure" ?

I know what one is generally, I've flown them, but what I'm asking is there a specific technical definition that differentiates a cloud break from an instrument approach Procedure?

The term Cloudbreak doesn't exist in the US. Would this procedure be termed a "cloudbreak" if it weren't in the US?

For those who don't feel like clicking the link, it's an IAP based on Localizer and DME guidance, but the missed approach is 5 miles from the airport and 4400 feet above it.
