Contrail Shadows from Space, page 1

There's a blanket of low, moist cloud over much of England at the moment. Most aircraft are flying well above this cloud and this morning's satellite sequence clearly shows their contrails casting shadows on the cloud blanket below. Notice how the shadows move as the persistent contrails producing them drift eastwards in the upper wind.

Thought it might interest some folk

Hi,
I live in Portsmouth in the UK.Which is right above the little island(the isle of wight)that you can see towards the middle of the south of England.
I can confirm that it has been weeks,months even now since we have seen a blue sky for any significant amount of time.
There is constant grey sky and heavy winds all the time.
Also a lot of rain which maybe is not so unusual for here.
Why this is so I really dont know,but it is just not right for the time of year.
So maybe there is something to the contrail theory?
Is it known for producing a lot of extra cloud cover?
