Thanks Rebecca. I fly a lot over the central US and this was the third time in the last 18 months that I was fortunate to spot a subsun and subsun sundog at altitude with a thin layer of cirrostratus at or just below the plane.
Most interesting picture, Patrick!
Don’t often see this particular cloud phenomenon seen from 35,000 feet up in a plane. Looking carefully at the photo, it almost looks like the sun is reflecting off of a thin layer of see-through icecap, through which one can see mid-level mackerel-sky patterned Altocumulus cloud, similar to pack-ice on a vast ocean below.
