Bohren Pennsylvania State University, Department of Meteorology, University Park, Pennsylvania, USA Phone: (814) 466-6264; Fax: (814) 865-3663; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Colors of the sky and colored displays in the sky are mostly a consequence of selective scattering by molecules or particles, absorption usually being irrelevant. Molecular scattering selective by wavelength – incident sunlight of some wavelengths being scattered more than others – but the same in any direction at all wavelengths gives rise to the blue of the sky and the red of sunsets and sunrises. Scattering by particles selective by direction – different in different directions at a given wavelength – gives rise to rainbows, coronas, iridescent clouds, the glory, sun dogs, halos, and other ice-crystal displays. The size distribution of these particles and their shapes determine what is observed, water droplets and ice crystals, for example, resulting in distinct displays. To understand the variation and color and brightness of the sky as well as the brightness of clouds requires coming to grips with multiple scattering: scatterers in an ensemble are illuminated by incident sunlight and by the scattered light from each other. The optical properties of an ensemble are not necessarily those of its individual members. Mirages are a consequence of the spatial variation of coherent scattering (refraction) by air molecules, whereas the green ﬂash owes its existence to both coherent scattering by molecules and incoherent scattering

ESCI 340 - Cloud Physics and Precipitation Processes Lesson 13 - Atmospheric Optical Phenomena Dr. DeCaria References: One of the best sources for information about atmospheric optics is the Atmospheric Optics website, http://www.atoptics.co.uk Snel's Law and Refraction • The index of refraction for a medium is defined as m = c=c;~ (1) where c is the speed of light in a vacuum, andc ~ is the speed of light in the medium.1 • As light passes from one medium into another, there is both reflection and refraction. • Refraction occurs because the wave fronts bend as they cross from one medium into another, causing a ray of light to bend. The ray bends toward the medium that has the slower speed of light (highest index of refraction). • The bending of the ray is quantified by Snel's Law, which is stated mathematically as sin θ m 1 = 2 ; (2) sin θ2 m1 where θ1 is the angle of incidence (and reflection), θ2 is the angle of refraction, and m1 and m2 are the indices of refraction in the two mediums (see Fig. 1). • The amount by which a ray of light is deflected due to refraction can be quantified in one of two ways. { The bending angle, θ0, is the interior angle between the initial and final rays. { The deviation angle, θ00, is the complement of the bending angle, θ00 = 180◦ −θ0. { The relationship between bending angle and deviation angle is illustrated in Fig. 2. Index of Refraction for Air • Light travels faster through warm air than it does through cold air.

Tufaile 1 Soft Matter Lab, Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Ferrocell USA, 739 Route 259, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, 15658, USA (E-mail: [email protected]) 1 Soft Matter Lab, Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. We are reporting the existence of the nonlinear dynamics in some curious phenomena observed in the context of atmospheric optics: jumping sundogs, halo formation and the miracle of the Sun. A possible connection between these atmospheric patterns of the atmospheric optics and light scattering in particles with the same size of the ice crystals could be based in the concept of diffracted rays. Keywords: Chaotic Modelling, Jumping Sundogs, Ferrofluids, Parlaseric circle. 1 Introduction There are some interesting phenomena involving atmospheric optics, for example, the jumping sundog is an amazing band of light continuously oscillating over the sky [1], sweeping downward and jumping up again, as it is shown in Fig. 1. Besides this phenomenon, Wirowski [2, 3] studied the bizarre effect known as “the miracle of the Sun”, in which many people observed oscillations in the size of the Sun, as it is shown in Fig. 2, and suggested the dynamical system describing this effect. These phenomena lasted a few minutes and some of them were recorded by some amateur observers.

This study explores these changes, which have yielded both positive and negative cultural and developmental outcomes, as products of digital dissonance. Dissonance is characterized by the disruptive consequences inherent in technology’s incursion into the print publication cultures of the twentieth century, the explosion in social-media interaction that is changing the complexion of human contact, and our expanding reliance on the World Wide Web for negotiating commerce, culture, and communication.

It is well known that similarly colourful features can exist in the sky whenever appropriate ice crystals are around. However, the transition of light reflection and refraction from ice crystals in the air to reflection and refraction from those in snow on the ground is not trivial.
