Asperatus, the new cloud | ||||
| The asperatus is an enormous massive cloud which invades the sky and takes tortured and totally terrifying aspects. Of the "rough" significant Latin word, the asperatus is the unofficial name to describe this type of cloud. The meteorological sir of the BBC, Mister Fish explains: " clouds are a mixture of two air masses, a very warm and wet, the other one very cold and very dry; they are as the oil and the water, they do not mix. " This new type of cloud, asperatus, was observed in several places of the planet. Its disturbing forms remind computer generated images for collection of screen. Asperatus looks like clouds of thunderstorm but does not provoke a storm. The images are disturbing, certain give the impression to be sights of artist. | In spite of their splendid visual effects and their frequent appearances, these formations were not officially recognized by a name yet. The professor Paul Hardaker, the leader of the direction of the RMS ( Royal Meteorological Society), declared: a lot of heat and energy is probably needed to produce these spectacular formations of clouds.

| The morning glory is a weird low cloud which is formed mainly in the Gulf Savannah in north Queensland in the Australian tropics (north). The Australian city of Burketown is one of the places where one can contemplate this amazing weather phenomenon, known as Morning Glory. These clouds can stretch ending around 1000 kilometers long and moving at 60 km / h. These rare clouds called morning glories condense usually at an altitude of about 2 kilometers. These clouds roll, those who stand in the sky of Burketown, Queensland, happen every spring. These long horizontal tubes are formed, perhaps, when moist air being cool encounters a layer of temperature inversion, where the temperature rises with height contrary to what is generally observed. These tubes can cause very dangerous turbulence, the month of September sees meet some pilots to fly above the morning glory. As surfers from Hawaii, these drivers are reckless tackle the turbulence of the Morning Glory. |
nota: The morning glory is also a creeper. These flowers bloom from July to October, open only in the morning and close the rest of the day. |
