Giant waves and rare “wave-shaped clouds” hang in the night sky of Victoria Harbor. Netizens play food word: cloud waves
The smoke and water are vast, and the night is full of waves; the sky is floating, and the clouds are rolling and the waves are rolling. A few days ago, a rare “wave-shaped cloud” rolled up in Hong Kong’s night sky. The giant waves in the famous Japanese ukiyo-e painting “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” (Note) seem to hang on the skyline of Victoria Harbour, and netizens are amazed.
The smoke and water are vast,
The night is turning waves;
Floating in the sky,
The clouds are rolling and the waves are rolling.
“Wave-Shaped Clouds” Meipai + Observatory Deconstructing Wave-shaped Clouds↓↓↓↓
The Observatory also paid attention to this spectacle. Yesterday (25th) it posted an article on its Facebook page to introduce what is called a “wave-shaped cloud” – a wave-shaped cloud is called a “wave-shaped cloud” (Fluctus), and usually the upper and lower strands move in the same direction , but airflow junctions with different speeds and temperatures are formed. A layer of slower-moving air cuts into the faster-moving air, twisting the latter into a wavy shape, usually only for a short time, and rarely.
The Observatory’s fb also explained the “wave-shaped cloud” before, and attached a short video of the formation and dissipation process of the “wave-shaped cloud” captured by the Observatory’s weather camera in 2022; and the netizens who responded to the “wave-shaped cloud” on the Observatory’s fb before said that “very Beautiful, an eye-opener!”, and funnyly played with food characters “Oh! Yunlang~~~”.
The website of the Observatory further introduces the text in detail, referring to the “wave-shaped cloud” that usually appears temporarily in the form of curly or broken waves (Kelvin-Helmholtz waves) at the top of the cloud. Curled like a wave. Wave clouds form at the junction of two air currents moving in the same direction but at different speeds and temperatures. The slower moving layer of air cuts into the faster moving air layer, distorting its shape into a wavy shape. This phenomenon is also known as the “Kelvin-Helmholtz instability” phenomenon. Wave clouds mostly appear in cirrus, altocumulus, stratocumulus or stratus, occasionally in cumulus.
Classic masterpiece: “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”
According to online information, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is a woodcut print by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), published between 1831 and 1833. “The huge waves rolled over the fishing boat, and the sailors were fighting hard.
Hong Kong’s astronomical beauty and weather-related news:
Light, like rain. Bunch after bunch, shining with the transparency and purity, dancing in the light and shadow. In the early morning of May 25, a netizen photographed the “Jesus Light” (also known as “God’s Ladder”) that shoots out powerful rays of light.
The warbler flies and the grass grows in the early spring moon, and the flowing clouds cascade down thousands of miles like a waterfall. The haze is light and the vast road is light, and Cangshan is ashamed to cover the beauty of light gauze. Clouds and waterfalls pass over thousands of peaks, and topographical clouds cover the mountains like a bride wearing a veil.
The iron bird draws through the sky, and the dream of flying leaves traces. There is a time to meet, and a time to part. Airplane clouds are like chalk dust, gently sending joys and sorrows to the sky, overlooking all living beings.
Dressed in a mist like a veil, she swaggered with her hands open. The morning light passes through wantonly, hazy and ethereal. Beauty vibrates in stillness.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the long street, and the romance floating on the busy traffic disappeared in an instant. “Hanging Sun in Mong Kok” appears at the end of February and mid-October every year. On the pedestrian bridge near Sai Yee Street in East Argyle Street, Mong Kok, the setting sun sinks between the tall buildings on both sides. The beautiful scenery is comparable to the “Suspending Sun in Manhattan” in the United States . In order to capture the beautiful scenery, Long You recently took Qi Jiasheng to squeeze on the bridge. It became a corner of the city full of poetic charm in the early Republic of China.
Even if the vast expanse of waves rolls in, the sleepy distant mountains gently rippling in the vast sea of fog, and the lights and shadows of the bridge are soft and majestic. Sea mist floods Hong Kong, like poetry and painting.
When spring arrives unexpectedly, the city is at a loss and filled with mist, the fog locks the streets and alleys and spreads silently, and the bustling shadows are ashamed to become poetry.
