Vivid Quadruple Rainbow - Amazing View

Post by chandoo » Apr 23, 2015 Views: 964



If you never has experience to watch the more than one rainbow at time, here is a great surprise for you as someone captures the four multiple rainbows and share it on internet for you. According to meteorologists, what Curtis actually saw was a double-double rainbow, but that doesn’t make it any less magical. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research meteorologist Paul Neiman told the Washington Post that the second double rainbow resulted from the sun's light reflecting off of a nearby body of water; "a large glassy-smooth water surface is required behind the observer. This smooth water surface reflects the sun, such that a second solar light source is generated. This reflected sun creates a second primary and secondary rainbow on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.
