That was a marvelous upper tangent arc you spotted, Keelin, together with a sun pillar. The sun is just set and the UTA takes this sharp shape when the sun is that low. Here is a link to a page where you can simulate the height of the sun with the mouse and see what shape the UTA takes: Simulate shape of UTA
Several great iridescences Ruth and it is a very nice couple of sundogs you spotted Ariel.
Shadows And Rays
That’s a nice one Marie. I am rather sure you spotted an undulatus formation in the distance. I am not sure about the main cloud but I think it is stratocumulus. Any other opinions?
Dear Laurence, thanks for sharing this one. Unfortunately somehow the link to the image missed, but with your info I could find it and it is here: Elves over Italy
An amazing phenomenon and image it is. Love it.
Your String Section is ready for writing sheet music, Keelin. Maybe for Good Vibrations?
It’s At The Right
A Mouth Full is very funny, Ruth. After your lenticular sculptures your last two are amazing Michael. Such a tneder veil of pileus. I hope more will follow. And #1409 has mystery in it. It catches the eye and makes you puzzle.
Blown Off
Peter, like Ruth says the three straight lines are certainly contrail. But in the corner at the right and above the trees I see cirrus fibratus. One can see the difference. 😊
I love this Welsh corner on the Forum. Please keep it alive. So sad that the groups don’t exist anymore. Advantage s that anyone can comment not restricted to membership of a group.
Great lowbows btw!Yes indeed Keelin, my sundog would have loved to chase your multicolored squirrel. Love it. It is a great Iridescent ‘Do you spotted. My pareidolic me sees a mask of light with a colored hairdress.
Ruth I love your lenticulars with the colored fringes just as the rainbow rockettes have by Ariel.
Ariel, what a great collection of halos you posted. It is especially the circumscribed halo I love most.
I am looking forward to new halo appearances over here, but I also have my archive to dig for more sundogs.
ArchivedogGreat cloudscapes Robert. I already noticed you found the part of the Forum dedicated to cloud identification, but here you have also posted a cirrus sky with the question what kind of cirrus there are in your first post here. It s not an easy one in my opinion. To begin with the streaks of cirrus perpendicular to each other betray the duplicatus variety of cirrus being present at different levels in the sky. It may seem a bit arbitrary but I see a lot of different kinds of cirrus: fibratus, uncinus, intortus and vertebratus as well. The woolly tufts at the bottom of the image seem to me altocumulus, being too large to be cirrocumulus. I am curious for other opinions.
