Blue Band at Altitude

Featured Replies

The following metar was in effect for the screen shots that follow:KABQ 231956Z 10021G29KT 10SM FEW050 SCT085 OVC140 02/M07 A2983I slewed the plane up over Albequerque (KABQ)to get the shots.The first shot is at exactly 6000 feet MSL . The ActiveSky visibility reduction for the overcast layer has everything looking good.The second shot is at 6100 feet MSL, only 100 feet higher. Notice the sudden change to a blue cast in the sky. When climbing out it is a sudden change. What causes the blue cast? Visibility reduction still looks about right.The third and final shot is at 16000 feet MSL between the scattered and overcast layers. Notice the pronounced blue band. Its as though the visibility reduction retreated at altitude. Is this normal?Would appreciate anyone that would repeat this on their system. I would like to know if what I am seeing is normal.Thanks.

I just hate this blue band and the switching to blue. It's an MS thing that has to be worked around. For some reason, I see it happening less when going down than when climbing. Go figure.
