Meteorologists claim that they have never seen anything like it before
These clouds are like either a stormy sea, or the surface of the earth. They are dark, fancifully "dented". Swirling "horns" stick out of them. The view is frightening. And sinister.
Pictures of such clouds come from all over the world. English newspapers published several made over the UK and New Zealand. But it is possible that this can be seen elsewhere.
Eerily dark clouds, surprisingly, do not pose a threat. Where they appeared, people waited for hurricanes. But there was nothing like that.
“The color suggests the structures contain a lot of moisture,” says Professor Paul Hardaker, executive director of the British Royal Meteorological Society. - It takes a lot of energy and heat to form clouds of such an amazing shape.
The British came up with an initiative to call previously unseen formations in the sky "Asperatus".
And they proposed to include this name in the atlases. To have something to talk about in detail. As now, for example, they speak of cirrus, cirrus claw-shaped, dense, confused, stratus clouds, cumulus clouds, nacreous and noctilucent.
If the proposal is accepted by the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, the existence of the new cloud type will be officially recognized. But in any case, scientists have to figure out where these come from. And as evidenced. While this is a mystery. Despite the abundance of pictures.
AT THIS TIME
Clouds are already frightening
An entry in one of the blogs, whose visitors expect the end of the world in 2012: “The interaction of spirits is always reflected in the sky. Including - and in the usual, visible to us, the sky. When something new arises, it will definitely be reflected in the (mass) consciousness. Including - and in the usual, visible to us, the sky. It will look like an unusual sky. A new kind of cloud has recently been discovered that is not known to meteorologists. New variety since 1953. It's called Asperatus. Something new has to come out of there."
