/ 0 Comments / in Misc, SunsetA beautiful New Year`s day sunset caused by decaying mid-level clouds which was discovered to be Altocumulus Floccus later at sunset (refer to first thumbnail). The cloud formations were caused by a weak shortwave at 500mb (2nd thumbnail). Such clouds are due to an unstable mix up of rising warm, moist air over background cooler air.
