Visual changes or displays caused by the deflection of light (reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering). Examples include mirages, rainbows, halos, and the sky’s color.
Atmospheric phenomena are physical occurrences resulting from the interaction of natural atmospheric parameters such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. They are broadly categorized as follows: atmospheric phenomenon
A recently identified phenomenon involving a gas ribbon over 15 miles wide flowing west through the upper atmosphere, accompanied by a temperature spike exceeding Visual changes or displays caused by the deflection
Electrical discharges such as lightning, ball lightning, and transient luminous events like "sprites". 2. Emerging and Rare Observations They are broadly categorized as follows: A recently
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.
Common occurrences like rain, snow, and wind, as well as extreme events like hurricanes, tornadoes, and heat waves.
Visible liquid or solid water particles suspended in or falling through the air, including fogs, blowing snow, and various precipitation types.
