Iridescence
Brilliant spots or borders of colors in clouds, usually red and green, caused by diffraction of light by small cloud particles. The phenomenon is usually observed in thin cirrus clouds within about 30?Ǭ?
Iridescence- brilliant patches of green or pink sometimes seen near the edges of high- or medium-level clouds.
Isobar- the line of equal pressure denoted on surface weather maps.
Iridescence Brilliant spots or borders of colors, most often red and green, observed in clouds up to about 30º from the sun.
Isobar A line connecting points of equal pressure
Isotach A line connecting points of equal wind speed.
IRIDESCENCE - Glowing or bright regions caused by sunlight reflecting off of or being diffracted by a cloud. Commonly seen around ice clouds such as cirrus.
Cirrocumulus are composed of highly supercooled water droplets (which tend to be converted into ice crystals very rapidly), ice crystals, or a mixture of both. The even-sized cloud particles may produce coronae and iridescence around the Sun ...
