In the third and fourth pictures you can see faint lines on the north and east sides. The contrailing is stronger on the SW side so it like multiple hooks instead of an eastward blowing spiral.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776096970840484867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-76340375373378638982010-10-15T09:29:43.158-07:002010-10-15T09:29:43.158-07:00Looks like the comment editor truncated the image ...Looks like the comment editor truncated the image names.

Also, I would appreciate your tips on acquiring MODIS imagery. I have read their FAQs, tried different browsers and settings, and still see only white boxes where thumbnails go. Thanks for covering our daily upper atmosphere modification due to jet air travel!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754360743626401014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-28968201455554590112010-10-13T09:58:26.452-07:002010-10-13T09:58:26.452-07:00I found some of the images from yesterday fascinat...I found some of the images from yesterday fascinating.<br /><br />In the afternoon, there were four distinct 'hooks' on the left side of the 1km vis image. It's not often you see such an obvious pattern like this. <br /><br />I assume they are international flights that turn and head towards SeaTac. If anyone has other theories, I'd love to hear them!<br /><br />Here is the sequence.<br /><br />One: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/images/vis1km/201010122130.gif <br /><br />Two: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/images/vis1km/201010122200.gif<br /><br />Three:<br />http://www.atmos.washington.edu/images/vis1km/201010122215.gif<br /><br />Four: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/images/vis1km/201010122245.gifBlakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529513839998052229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-80218833152665774742010-10-13T09:45:07.296-07:002010-10-13T09:45:07.296-07:00I was wondering why there were so many pretty, flu...I was wondering why there were so many pretty, fluffy contrails yesterday. Thanks for the explanation. Chemtrails: snort. Trying to disabuse conspiracy theorists is useless, ike pouring water over a rock: it looks wet, but isn't absorbing anything.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222116653360570878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-89742271025762566582010-10-13T09:05:48.789-07:002010-10-13T09:05:48.789-07:00Wait!
