Recently, when the satellite is aimed at the Pacific Ocean south of Alaska and the United States, a series of clouds here combine to form a strange picture - it seems that this strange cloud is like a human face, but also has a twisted and strange smile, so that many netizens feel a little hairy, in fact, this "smiley face" north to the vicinity of Alaska, south to the Hawaiian Islands, spanning about 4,000 kilometers, the range is extremely large. Then there are also netizens to ask: Is this synthetic? Is this picture real? Is it an anomaly?
This strange "smiley face" appeared on April 18, Beijing time, in fact, it is a coincidental formation of three cyclone systems, not artificial synthesis - in the North Pacific Ocean that day, there are three temperate cyclone systems, one system is located near the Bering Sea, and the other two extratropical cyclone systems are located in the south of Alaska, of which the huge temperate cyclone system located near the Bering Sea is the temperate cyclone transformed from Typhoon Maleka, the number 1 typhoon of the year. Maleka's transformation of the extratropical cyclone is one "eye" of this smiling face, while the other two extratropical cyclones form another "eye".
But from the above visible light satellite cloud map, it seems that this strange "smiley face" can not be seen, this smiley face is used to use a water vapor enhanced satellite cloud map, to show the atmospheric water vapor content in different regions - among them, three extratropical cyclones pulled up a series of water vapor activities, thus forming the upper part of this "smiley face", but in the Pacific Ocean there is also a fairly large dry area of relatively scarce water vapor, winding from the Pacific Ocean through the Hawaiian Islands to North America, forming this "smiley face" The second half of the film, which eventually coincidentally flattens into a weird smiley face.
Therefore, it can be said that this is not a synthetic, but actually just a coincidence, similar to the thousands of kilometers of huge smiley faces have also appeared in other areas - such as september 2015, the satellite cloud map on the 18th Typhoon Aitao, The 17th Typhoon Kilo and the tropical cloud southeast of Guam formed a smiling face with the corners of the mouth raised.
