Default Estimating height of cloud layers at night

I would imagine that it is possible from ground level on the extreme east
coast of Norfolk or Suffolk to see the lights of Holland if the cirrus
layer is just right.


About 4 years ago, I remember seeing a very obvious orange sodium lamp type
of glow in the Ayr/Prestwick direction when viewing about 15 m above sea
level on the Co. Antrim coast. The distance would have been between 90 and
100 km from the particular point on the coast.
