THE WEATHER OVER NAGPUR SKIES AND ENTIRE CENTRAL INDIA (ALMOST), BEING STABLE, WITH MINIMAL DISTURBANCE (RISING HEAT), WHICH IS USUAL DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, THERE IS NOTHING MUCH OF A FEEDBACK TO SHARE.
BUT, I WISH TO SHARE ONE ARTICLE WHICH I READ FEW DAYS AGO, AND HOPE THAT SCIENCE BUFFS MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH EARLIER.

| Nacreous Clouds-Mother Of Pearl |
THE NASA SATELLITE DATA STUDIED BY UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS RESULTED IN STARTLING REVELATIONS THAT CLOUD TOPS ARE LOWERING IN HEIGHTS.
THE LESS FORMATION OF CLOUDS AT HIGHER ALTITUDE (VERTICAL) AND THE GLOBAL AVERAGE ALTITUDE OF CLOUD HAS DROPPED BY ABOUT 40 Mtrs.(SAY ABOUT 130 FEET OR 1%).

| Noctilucent Clouds |
THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF CHANGING ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES WHICH ARE IMPACTING CLOUD FORMATION.
BUT ‘THE LOWER IN ATMOSPHERE’ CLOUD FORMATION WOULD RESULT IN THE ‘EARTH TO COOL’ MORE AND THUS POTENTIALLY OFFSETTING THE THREAT OF ‘GLOBAL WARMING’, CAUSED BY GREENHOUSE GASES.
THE TEN YEAR DATA MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO DRAW FINAL CONCLUSION OF ‘LOWER CLOUD HEIGHT’.
THE CLOUDS ARE, EPHEMERAL, AND DIFFICULT IN REAL TIME TO TRACK, THEIR HEIGHT AND THEIR LOCATION MAY VARY DUE TO LOCAL OROGRAPHY, BUT THERE IS CERTAINLY A CHANGE IN CIRCULATION PATTERN THAT GIVE RISE TO CLOUD FORMATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE.

| NacreousCloud Mr DAVIES AND HIS COLLEAGUES HAVE ANALYSED THE DATA RECEIVED FROM ‘MULTI-ANGLE IMAGING SPECTRORADIOMETER’ ON NASA’S TERRA SPACECRAFT FOR A PERIOD FROM MARCH 2000 TO FEBRUARY 2010 AND IF THE FUTURE OBSERVATIONS ALSO SHOW THAT THE CLOUDS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING LOWER, THEN AN IMPORTANT EFFECT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE (SLOW OR EXCERBATE THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING) IS NOT RULED OUT. {EXTRACTS FROM WRITE-UP OF Mr STEPHANIE PAPPAS}. |
