That’s a nice series of cirrus Daniel plus the lacunosus in close up and wide together with the moon as well. I love the fine strokes of cirrus. The Arizona Color #808 is then again so different with its mysterious blues. So much variations in the sky!
Holes And Strokes
Hello Don, it was nice to see you live in a Zoom meeting recently! It is no wonder you can’t find anything about an eyebbrow cloud. I know the eyebrow cloud is not an offically accepted classification (yet?). Maybe it is a new challenge for Gavin to get it recognized by the WMO and made part of the ICA. Gavin collects examples of them and he has already a Latin name for this cloud : superciliaris, which is Latin for eyebrow. So eyebrow clouds. I will try to find an example later. As a moderator for the cloudspotter app I have seen some examples going by. There are some similarities with asperitas imo.
An example taken in France by me in 2014 by me.
An example from the moderator app. I love this one. It is in my opinion a perfect example.
Another one from the cloudspotter app.
By the way: very nice inversion. It is fun to experiment with image processing.
I am sure Michael will come up with some of his own examples?
I love the colors of Arizona Sunset#511 Michael. Others as well of course, but that one in particular.
Some Light Still Squeaks ThroughThat is good to hear Keelin. And yes a Forum with an occasional Dust Mousie from ‘neath the sofa is a real joy these days. Nice to see you come up with the official Latin name according to the ICA for the cumulus species that looks like a creature. This triggered me to find next one in my archive for Cirrocumulus (I think) with keyword ‘aquarium’.
Cirrocumulus creatura, subsp. pescis
Steven captured 11 contrails. Very nice and some of them so accurately straight they seemed to be drawn along a ruler. Harebrained Idea can’t be more different. I like its mad wildness Keelin.
Do We Have To Worry?
What are they up to now? Great question to ask about clouds Keelin and great image too. And Arizona Cloudscape #321 is so close being asperitas, or is it Michael?
More unfolding drama in the sky to come up?
Don, Michael is very accurate in his classification. When you want to be surprised even more just check the cloud identification table of the ICA (International Cloud Atlas) and check for each of the ten main cloud types (genera) the possible species, varieties, supplementary features and accessory clouds: Cloud Classification Summary
It is fun to check all kind of combinations together with pictures of good examples (mostly). I always check this table in case of doubt for which are always reasons to have (unfortunately).
And Steven: you spotted a nice cumulonimbus with species capillatus.
I love the latest series of B&W’s posted over here by you all, Keelin, Don, and Michael. They are all surprising, each one in its own way, ending with an exuberant Spring Sail.
Flood Line In The Sky
Ha Keelin, you spotted some very nice thingy clouds. First there is this pond switching Bear as happy as possible. Then the critter with its thin legs and ending with a mouthwatering tasteful Chocolate Cloud Bunny. I love them all. It is an art to have found them.
Unfortunately I have nothing in return to post. For some reason the clouds here have not been thingy enough for a nice capture in this thread. I need to be patient as we also have to be patient with the virus that’s holding the world in its grip. I hope you are OK in California?
