Rare, spherical electrical discharges that remain difficult to record or simulate due to their temporary and unpredictable nature. 3. Impact of Climate Change
Current research highlights that human-caused increases in greenhouse gases are altering the frequency and intensity of these phenomena: Extreme Weather - NASA Science
Rare events occurring in the wake of dying thunderstorms where hot, dry air aloft rapidly descends to the surface, causing sudden temperature spikes and evaporating any falling rain. atmospheric phenomenon
Recent data identifies rare and newly discovered phenomena that challenge traditional modeling:
A recently identified phenomenon involving a gas ribbon over 15 miles wide flowing west through the upper atmosphere, accompanied by a temperature spike exceeding Recent data identifies rare and newly discovered phenomena
Visual changes or displays caused by the deflection of light (reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering). Examples include mirages, rainbows, halos, and the sky’s color.
