Rare Phenomenon: Persistent Luminescent Clouds Over Norway Rare Phenomenon: Persistent Luminescent Clouds Over Norway

🏐 Recently, an extraordinary occurrence of persistent luminescent clouds, also known as pearlescent clouds, was captured over the skies of Norway. Witnesses sent in stunning footage showcasing the unique coloring of these clouds, which typically form at altitudes of 15 to 25 km.

🏐 Lately, pearlescent clouds have been commonly observed in many countries. Eyewitnesses have been sending in photographs from England, Denmark, St. Petersburg, Norway, Switzerland, Scotland, and other nations.

✨ Persistent luminescent clouds come in two types:

Type I clouds, containing water, nitric acid, and/or sulfuric acid, form when temperatures drop to -78°C or below.
Type II clouds consist solely of water ice, requiring temperatures of -83°C or lower for their formation.
🏐 While Type II clouds are harmless, consisting only of water, Type I clouds pose a potential threat due to the destruction of stratospheric ozone in the areas where they appear. The surfaces of these clouds act as catalysts, converting more benign forms of artificial chlorine into active free radicals, contributing to ozone depletion.

‼️ This captivating phenomenon is not only observed in the polar regions but has recently been spotted in European countries like Norway, defying its typical occurrence near the South Pole. The unprecedented cooling of the stratosphere has led to these clouds appearing in regions far removed from the pole.

⚠️ Enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of these clouds, but also recognize the implications they carry for our atmosphere.
