Born on the crests of air waves, or Lenticular cloud

A lenticular cloud is very rare in nature, and always, if there are people nearby, makes a huge impression on them. These are huge accumulations of water vapor of unusual shapes and colors. Sometimes clouds look like an unidentified flying object, sometimes - to the masses from the film "Solaris", and sometimes they are just funny and bizarre. Such clusters have several names: lenticular clouds, lenticular, discoid. Despite the abundance of names, scientists did not fully understand the reasons for the appearance of these bizarre masses of water vapor. Only the circumstances under which this is possible are known. It is believed that a lenticular cloud can appear between two layers of air or on the crests of air waves. In addition, scientists know the conditions of their existence - they remain motionless, no matter how strong the wind at the height where the cluster is located.

Causes

Scientists suggest that the air overhead flow, flowing obstacles, forms formal air waves, in which the process of condensation of water vapor continuously occurs. It reaches the "dew point" and again evaporates with the descending air jets. The process happens many times. Thus a lenticular cloud appears. Usually it hangs at an altitude of up to 15 kilometers from the leeward side of mountain peaks or ridges and does not change its position all the time of its existence. Conversely, the appearance of these clusters in the sky is evidence that the atmosphere has a high moisture content and strong horizontal air streams. As a rule, this is due to the approach of the atmospheric front. Appear masses in good weather. This characterizes the lenticular clouds. The photos show this.

The first hypothesis of the process of occurrence of discoid clouds

The electric charge of the planet Earth creates an electric field on the surface of the object. On the elevations such as crests of ridges, mountain tops and rocks, it increases almost 3 times. In addition, on the Earth's surface there are also electromagnetic fields that arise either underground or in the ionosphere. The latter are related to the oscillations of the electrons between the poles and have a frequency of 2 to 8 Hz. Such waves are heard by animals, for example, shortly before the earthquake. These fields, when passing through rocks, generate sound waves, which form zones of low or high pressure. At the minimum of the amplitude, conditions arise for the condensation of water vapor. A lenticular cloud is the visualization of a process.

The second hypothesis of the process of occurrence of discoid clouds

The underground source of electromagnetic fields can be water, which boils in the bowels of the earth. It can be a liquid in the volcano's vent at great depth, reservoirs in faults or underground lakes. Cavitation processes generate sound waves in rocks, which, in turn, form an electromagnetic field through the piezoelectric effect. If they fall on the surface of the earth in the zone of an electric field with high values, then ionization of the air takes place . Under certain thermodynamic conditions, vapor condenses on charged particles, similar to the processes in the Wilson chamber. This forms the lenticular cloud. In this case it becomes clear why the discoid masses are stationary - the source of electromagnetic radiation by wind can not be moved from the place.

The third hypothesis of the process of occurrence of discoid clouds

In the sky we see different clouds. The types of clouds depend on the conditions of their formation. Lenticular masses can also appear from the freezing of water. Generation of the electromagnetic field in this process was repeatedly recorded by scientists in the course of various experiments. This can be freezing water in the muzzle of the volcano or on the slopes of the mountains. The power of electromagnetic radiation is amplified, the amplitude of its frequency determines the number of layers in the lenticular cloud and the distance between them. In addition, the forms of discoid masses can depend on the rate of freezing of water or on the large temperature drop along the mountain slopes.

Amazing and mysterious lenticular clouds

In addition, many naturalists - amateurs and professionals - believe that the appearance of lenticular masses is associated with the geopathic and geoactive zones of the Earth. And clouds can show the size of this site. The clusters are fixed in the zone of electromagnetic radiation emerging from the interior, so they do not move. The life of lenticular clouds varies. Some live for an hour, and then disappear. An unexpected incident was recorded in Kamchatka. In the upper reaches of the Bar-Burgazy River, the lenticular four-layer cloud lasted for one and a half days, then it began to rotate, flattened and turned into a glowing sphere, like ball lightning. Natural self-luminous formation with acceleration went up.
