40 years. As the dust was low in the atmosphere it interacted with the land-masses of the Canary Islands producing ripples in the wake of the islands which can be seen in this true-colour image from NASA's Terra satellite. Further ripples can be seen in the dust where it passes from the African
the south with some sunshine at times. And this dividing line will ebb and flow north-south across the country because that’s where the jet stream will be sitting. The view from space today shows the best of the sunshine across southern areas. The ripples in the clouds across central and northern areas
away then returning to a level of neutral buoyancy, forms ripples like those in a pond These are known as gravity waves and can be seen here as ripples in the low cloud. The fog evaporated rapidly and was gone by mid-morning so that the UK went on to experience an almost completely cloud-free day
of this ‘dust front’ new clouds form as air is pushed upwards. These in turn can sometimes develop into storms and generate new haboobs in a chain reaction. In the left image ripples, known as gravity waves, can be seen in the airborne dust. Credits: Image: © Crown copyright, Met Office, Data: EUMETSAT April
are the Northern Lights and what causes them? Author: Press Office 30 May 2025 The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are one of nature’s most mesmerising displays. This phenomenon can be seen as waves of colour that ripple across the night sky in hues of green, pink, red, and violet. While often
in the rate of species extinctions, while the planet would lose a vital climate regulation mechanism with climate-damaging teleconnections rippling out across the planet. Ten per cent of the world’s biodiversity is thought to exist within this region. How likely is this? But the Amazon basin
of the dust, and atmospheric gravity waves, appearing as ripples within the dust. This image is created to enable the easy identification of dust that has been lifted into the atmosphere. This is achieved by taking the difference of and combining satellite measurements from different infra-red
or silky appearance with no cloud elements, grains or ripples which distinguishes it from cirrocumulus. Cirrus is of a discontinuous structure and of limited horizontal extent which is the distinction between it and cirrostratus. Dense cirrus patches or tufts of cirrus may contain ice crystals large
‘spider’. Also in this image, near the top edge, there are some ripples in the cloud which are atmospheric gravity waves. Credits: NASA (data), Met Office (image).
