Abstract: For the first time important irregularities in atmospheric pulsations of RR Lyrae itself are clearly detected. They occur from one pulsation cycle to another. Their origins cannot be directly explained by the Blazhko effect. We suggest that these irregularities are mostly provoked by strong shock waves propagating within the atmosphere.
