There are times when I wish I didn’t write science fiction.
It makes this kind of thing far too ominous.
“The 'agitated wave' or
'undulatus asperatus' which looks like a rumpled blanket covering all or part
of the sky. (Such as this photo above taken over Schiehallion, in Scotland by
Ken Prior.) Cloud-spotters want to add it to the official list of cloud
species. But it turns out its not at all easy to have a new variety of cloud
officially recognized. So how come this type of cloud has only been spotted in
the last few years? Is it a really new formation never seen before? Or did
generations of meteorologists simply fail to notice it?”
wot you lack in science theory, you make up with fiction DoC..get an understanding of 'chaos'..unlike relativity and quantum mechanics, chaos is a science of everyday things - of art, and economics, of biological rhythms & traffic jams, of waterfalls weather..random possibilities m8..did ya go to skool..??

Try HAARP.
Looks very much like a Van Gogh painting to me.
ReplyDeleteI've seen clouds very similar to this over Gatwick and the North Downs, usually prior to a storm. I can only think heat from the ground causes a 'level' (sometimes seen in flat-bottomed clouds) which is then 'disturbed by winds through or over the Downs themselves. I think the effect in this photo is accentuated by the sun shining through thinner layers, but I've know the cloud element for some years. Hardly new.
