The night sky in Qinghai Chaka is beautiful. When can I see the beam?

When can I see the way to Chaka Salt Lake? Today, you should see the light beam under the night sky of Qinghai Chaka above Weibo. Everyone looks at the photos and thinks they are very nice. In fact, this kind of scene does not happen every year. The following small series will introduce this situation to everyone, so you can have a look.

When can I see the beautiful light beam in Chaka Town, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province at 3 am on February 13? In fact, this kind of light beam is a very rare natural phenomenon, which only appears on very cold nights. When the weather is very cold, ice falls from high floors and returns to the travel plane, shaped like some ice crystals. The light reflected by ice crystals is almost vertical, so there will be a beam effect.

In fact, in some very cold places in China, under the conditions of extreme cold and high shear humidity, ice fog will form, and it is easy to appear a landscape similar to a light column. For example, in the first line of central and eastern Inner Mongolia, one of the coldest places in China, the phenomenon of light beam has been reported more than once. On February 26th, 20 16, the phenomenon of light beam appeared in Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia. The gorgeous light column phenomenon appeared at 19: 30 in the evening and lasted until 2 1: 30. At that time, the outdoor temperature was MINUS 20 degrees Celsius, and the lights of the building reflected into colorful columns.

In addition to China, Canadian, Russian, American, Nordic and other places also have special reports on beam limitation, all of which are ice crystals and light sources in the atmosphere. Sometimes, this light source can be the sun, forming a spectacular "sun column" landscape.

This time, under the action of the cold air mass from Siberia, the local temperature in Chaka, Qinghai Province dropped below-10 degrees, and the water vapor in the air condensed into ice crystals at night, and the artificial light source on the ground formed a spectacular light column spectacle in the atmosphere.

So you can only see it when it is very cold and the air humidity is relatively high, but you can't see it at ordinary times. Although such scenic spots will exist, they do not happen often.
