Years of Journals Provide Glimpse Into Frequency of Rainbows and Halos

A comprehensive analysis of atmospheric phenomena reveals that rainbows and halos, while often overlooked, are more frequent occurrences than previously documented. This study, spanning multiple years across the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek, provides a detailed glimpse into their frequency and characteristics. By examining journal records, researchers identified patterns in these optical events, contributing valuable data to meteorological studies. The findings highlight the potential for citizen science and long-term observations to enhance our understanding of atmospheric optics.
