Just for fun...


I've always been fascinated by atmospheric and optical phenomenon. A while back I was on a hike and noticed this strange behavior in the contrails of a passing jet. If you look closely you can see the wavy lines of a contrail just before it evaporates. I would guess that this is caused by the wingtip vortices of the aircraft that created the contrail. If anyone has any other ideas, please drop me a line.
