Also..yes Hans all sorts of weirdness going on..I think the sign on still isn’t right. The only way for me to sign in a current time is the regen option you have pointed out,,Yet I still seem to be out of synch somewhere either in Gallery or here or etc. Its kinda fun except when you don’t have the time to bounce around in a bunch of yesterdays.
Apparently a regen or renew at every step of the way gets the newest..Its 6:37 PM and I JUST got to see todays gallery shots..nice Crow Instability Hans.. and when I came back here..Guess what wasn’t visible..but a renew brought it back,,yea..this and the above shot..uh oh.
Emily your post is poetic in its lament. If only us humans would pursue our talents rather than our grievances. Its those talents that make for the silver lining on the dark cloud.
Hey, Emily,
Have a Happy Asperitas Day!Hans I Think your first shot is populated by undulatus but thats about all. The second shot has the wavy horizontal lines I like to see when looking for Asperitas. Perhaps more time would have more rolls or more compressed rolls. ..The Pros like to put their clouds on scale of 1 to 10. Asperitas will be eventually parametered the same way. I would give your second shot a .5..very mild. Asperitas is supposed to mean churned up, aerated,aspirate,,and as a Yank, I think in terms of…NFL ..National Football League) as far as churning things up. I learned how ” culture” affects definitions of words . Asperitus across the pond carries little if any NFL connotations . Kind of like , ” roughing it” is a picnic in the country side complete with table cloth and glass ware.
So I give 2 examples. The first is a close shot of a single patch of Asperitas with all the traditional churning and the 2nd shot,,taken mid afternoon , again, right over the work place;A Medium display of Undulatus Asperitas. I was facing south and east taking pics of dense undulations and turned around to see this approaching,,Again speechless.
HAPPY ASPERITAS DAY!!
Hans,,I like to look at Asperitas upside down. Doing so verifies that its Asperitas. Cloud being pulled up in pockets becomes very obvious and takes a lot of the mystery out of this new cloud called Asperitas. Can It be very local? Sure I’ve got plenty of pics of just a few clouds that are experiencing wavy churning choppy seas. IMHO, thats still Asperitas. The pic above, ” Lite”..left me stunned when I saw it developing in the sky. All The signs of Asperitas in one small area, perhaps one cloud.!! I was shooting lenticulars and velum, a monsoon day with good winds, when this cloud starts waving at me. So I took its picture. No arguments. There it is.
The 1st pic below is from a session that already has a couple of shots in the CAS Gallery. This shot is more for science than anything. Again, the whole session took place right above the work area right around dawn. I have found only one Asperitas shoot that took place late afternoon. The interesting thing in this pic is the cloud activity above the horizontal line compared to the mild wavy bottom surface. Complete opposites.. My advantage was I was positioned in front of the whole advancing system. It was coming straight at me. Another event that left me speechless.
The 2nd shot below..another speechless event. On the way to home from work I spotted all the signs in the distant sky. Layered clouds in turmoil. I chose a route that would take me to North Mountain city park a few miles from home. Timing was perfect. I was transported to somewhere elseville. I had to keep reminding myself to take pics. The clouds were not thick, therefore let a lot of light thru. Yet still darkened at their “base” for contrast. Look at the pic upside down for the texture. Not a massive wave or two, but a wide area of many many smaller waves. Choppy seas indeed.
Looks that way Hans.. Contrail in Gallery shots is being mentioned as homogenitus..man made. 23rd should be fun!
A variatiion of the Tom Waits’ line, The camera has been drinking, no,not me..I can definitely feel the festivity in your shot Keelin!
3 Sheets To The Wind
Hans the only thing I can say about ” conditions” is look for layers or duplicatus conditions. It seems to me..kind of like a Holmbroe Instability, where two layers of differing speed or maybe direction or maybe temperature, ,,interface so to speak, cause the Roll or wave action. I’ve wondered if Asperitas is like seeing a Holmbroe from underneath over large area? Another thought,,is Mammatus is air sinking, then Asperitas is like air rising?There ALWAYS seems cloudlets streaming upwards when above Asperitas can be seen. That just may be why I have observed perlucidus so often prior to an Asperitas event. Rising warm or hot air from the desert creates waves ??
