Weirdly Cloudy Planet Earth

Reborn

Fascinating pic, DS. Do you have another pic less cloudy so we can compare them? ;)
 
Here is one

from a couple years back. Now, the one above is current and is in winter time, still a LOT of water vapour. The one being posted here is late summer, August I believe.

The August pic is interesting for a couple of reasons. One, it shows a very large number of huricanes - right on schedule as predicted weeks in advance by Prof. J. Mccanney, due to alignments and solar electrical arcs, etc.,

It is also interesting because one tends to see things like "energy" "eruptions" at 19.33 over and over, on this planet, the sun, mars, etc., seeming to confirm some of Hoagland's claims of hyperdimentional physics.

Another site to see GOES East and West Water vapor info.
(and a whole lot more also...)

The "Latest North America Composite Water Vapor Satellite Loops" looks interesting.
(the MPEG is only 146K)

But the real cool one is the Unisys Northern Hemisphere GOES Water Vapor.

It's a 1.5 Meg GIF file, too large to copy here.
 
DS,

You are comparing at two different types of satellite imagery.

The first one is water vapor imagery. That is not a representation of the clouds. It's a representation of the amount of water in the air. The dark spots are very dry, but not necessarily cloud free. It only estimates the amount of water vapor from the top third of the tropopause, so low clouds will not show up.

The second one you posted is the 24km IR image. This is a "cloud" shot.

Here's a much better shot to prove your point DS.

This is visible imagery. Basically a snapshot. Not IR processing needed, not estimates...just a glorified polaroid.

Yep

you are right Kickapoo. But the title will get more readers. I think I mention the vapour later and the hurricane is the only shot I could find in a hurry.

However, that is STILL a lot of vapour/water in the atmosphere. It has been a long time since I've seen that much in the atmosphere.

Excellent thread. Thanks DS & Kickapoo, for the added pics.
Now, forgive my ignorance PLEASE, but what causes this if it isn't all that common?

Well, we here in the SE have been praying for rain...:whistle:

I am not familiar with what you are referring to and don't understand what you are explaining with it. It sounds intriguing, however. Is there a very simple, beginner's level explanation that you can give or point me to?

TIA!

Yesterday we were watching clouds and didn't have a camera to take pictures. They looked like 'explosions' on the horizon. They would fan out in streaks from the point of 'explosion'. The streaks would continue to grow until they went across the sky. Best I can explain them. Can't say I've ever noticed cloud formation like that before.

dragonslayer2001, to me your [very cool pix] looks like "blown glass" in process of being formed.

I've been trying to upload the image to postimage.org for about 20 min.
I can't get 1.5 mb off my desktop, my dial up is that slow :(

http://postimage.org accepts up to 4 mb and it will show [here] in a managable size.
It'll say "click to see full view" and a new window shows it = it won't hog this site's bandwidth.
this shot is several years ago

Natural

If the sea temp has risen we will get more vapour.

More vapour means more rain

More rain means less CO2

Rain absorbs CO2 as it falls

Less CO2 means cooler climate

Hay presto nature has solved the warming problem

Take Care

PS Kickapoo is that the river in Wisconsin.
