Default Re: Atmospheric optical phenomena

It's possible for non graded thermal layers in the atmosphere to act as wave guides for RF and visible light. Seems unlikely, but possible that light is being introduced at a different incidence to the droplets?

I think but has it though, it's just simultaneous reflection rainbow and double rainbow.

Just this summer, I saw my first ever double rainbow. I wonder if this type of thing will become increasingly common as the atmosphere warms. I think air can hold 6% more vapor per additional degree celsius or something like that. Seems like that would increase the likelihood of refraction.
