Strange markings on today's satellite pictures

Mobhi1 · 2009-02-24 14:14:02

Does anyone know what's causing the unusual marks on today's satellite pictures? It's as if someone had scrawled across them with a pen. http://www.sat24.com/Region.aspx?country=gb&sat=ir&type=loop http://www.sat24.com/Region.aspx?country=gb&sat=vis&type=loop http://www.met.ie/sat/iuk-ir.asp http://www.met.ie/sat/iuk-v.asp

First thought it was something to do with air traffic.

I dunno, doesn't look like some type of artifact cause on the loop above you can see how the 'lines' space out and dissolve a little as they pass over the Irish Sea.

I dunno though, odd looking.

Air traffic, the high pressure allows the formations to persist.

It could be two things - the actual contrails themselves, or the shadows of the contrails on the clouds below. More probably the latter.
