Rainbow Wave Clouds / Iridescent Cirrus Forming in Timelapse

| Description | These interesting clouds were filmed over Santa Clarita, California in February of 2012. They were forming along with a large lenticular-like cirrus wave structure, about an hour or so before sunset, and provided some very colorful displays. Rainbow effects in the sky are normally caused by water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere, which separate and bend different light wavelengths (colors) and send them in different directions as sunlight passes through them. Students will enjoy these beautiful real life images as the rainbow clouds dance across the sky. What a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. |
