NASA thinks 2015 was strange, too.

The agency picked the most spectacular or newsworthy storms and made a video about them.

Weird Clouds in Norway

Very strange clouds appeared in Norway on December 16th:

dtlange at Robertscribbler noted:

Nacreous clouds appear around the Arctic Circle

Polar stratospheric clouds, also known as nacreous clouds (from nacre, or mother of pearl), are icy structures that form in the lower stratosphere (15 – 25 km) when temperatures drop to around -85 ºC (-121 ºF). They are best observed when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon.

 

“High-altitude sunlight shining through tiny ice particles ~10µm across produce the characteristic bright iridescent colors by diffraction and interference. Once thought to be mere curiosities, some PSCs are now known to be associated with the destruction of ozone,” Dr. Tony Phillips of the SpaceWeather.com explains.

Truls Tiller photographed these over Tromsø city, Norway, on December 16, 2015:

2015 Is Strange: October - November 2015

Latest vid from YouTuber LAST MESSAGES:

Starts off with intense Aurora Borealis over Lake Superior and then the immense Cyclone Chapala over the Arabian Sea.

Weird Blue Clouds.

This video was taken in three parts in Metairie, La., on Sunday November 8th.

Post-Tropical Depression Patricia in New Orleans and other vids.

Okay guys, the first one out the door is a vid I made of Post-Tropical Depression Patricia in New Orleans proper and Metairie, La. Same storm as Cat 5 Pacific Hurricane Patricia; she went right over Mexico and Texas!

Next is the latest installment of "2015 IS STRANGE" by YouTuber LAST MESSAGES.

 

 

And the last is a vid of a flat cloud with a curved lip (in addition to having a bow-front, or an arc front)

Joaquin is 2015's Second Major Hurricane - First Ever During an El Niño Year.

From Dr Jeff Masters at the Weather Underground:

Two major Atlantic hurricanes during a strong El Niño: a first

Strong El Niño conditions currently exist in the Eastern Pacific, where ocean temperatures have warmed to 2.3°C above average in the region 5°N-5°S, 120°W-180°W (called the Niño 3.4 region). Major Atlantic hurricanes are uncommon when ocean temperatures get this warm in the Eastern Pacific, and 2015 is the first strong El Niño year to experience two major Atlantic hurricanes since El Niño records began in 1950. The other four years that had strong El Niño conditions during the peak August-September-October portion of hurricane season have had only one major hurricane each. Those years were 1972, 1982, 1987, and 1997. Joaquin is now the second strongest Atlantic hurricane observed during strong El Niño conditions, behind only Hurricane Debby of 1982, which had 135 mph winds.

Joaquin is an uncommon beast: a major hurricane that did not develop from an African tropical wave. These waves serve as the origin of about 85% of all Atlantic major hurricanes. According to TWC's Stu Ostro, Joaquin's origin can be traced, in part all the way back to a upper-level trough that came off the coast of the Carolinas on September 15 (animation here). This trough became a cold upper low northeast of the Leeward Islands, then warmed and transformed into a warm-cored tropical cyclone. These sorts of systems are usually too far north to have warm enough water temperatures to make it to major hurricane status, but with the waters of Joaquin's birth a record warm 30°C (86°F), this was not a problem for the storm.

So now we must add two major hurricanes (111 mph winds or stronger, i.e., categories 3, 4 or 5) during an El Niño event as part of the strangeness of 2015 and the clear and present danger of global warming. Gadzooks! How many major hurricanes would there have been if we had a La Niña or a La Nada instead???

April 10, 2015 is strange.

The wind picks up and some clouds glow with light as an advance line of thunderstorms rolls through New Orleans Downtown. The view out Canal Street from Basin reveals a greenish sky. Mid-City residents reported the sky turned green there!

 

 

April 8, 2015 is strange.



Description: First & Second Video Clips -- "Platter" type cloud. Slideshow Clip -- The sky is getting brighter behind the "platter" cloud, like an aura. To the northwest of my house, there are ripple clouds there is an aerial "river" that looks like a stream of soot.
