Default Interesting HRPT sat image

This image had all the appearance of a smoke or dust plume, and its location
seems at first glance to show a source in southwest Iberia. However,
checking the plume in the various spectral channels available from the
NOAA18 pass, it became obvious that it was in fact at cirrus levels, and is
associated with enhanced contrail activity. The GFS chart for 300 mbar shows
that the plume lies on the right hand side of an extension of the Atlantic
mid-latitude jet stream.
