Metar SC055

[Schlumbumba]

Hallo,

a pilot asked for the weather of UMKK today. We had the following report:

METAR UMKK 311930Z 14002MPS 6000 BKN200 M14/M15 Q1006 NOSIG RMK QFE 753 SC055

What does SC055 stand for?

Thank you

Is it reporting the cloud type? Strato cumulus at FL55 or 5,500ft?

SC means stratocumulus observed at 5500 feet
