It is the brightness of the real presence of God, when seen as he truly is.
In Exodus, Moses' appearance (and eventually, his entire body) was transformed as a result of it, and his face continued to shine brightly, long after he came down from Mt. Sinai.
It frightened the Israelites so much that Moses chose to wear a head covering.
Shekinah Glory is also the likely cause of Noah's rainbow, and Ezekiel's vision (see Ezekiel chapter 1, verse 1), plus Jesus' transfiguration, St. Paul's fall from his horse, and several other similar biblical events.
You'll often find it associated with other phenomenon, like thunder, trumpets, lightning, hail, voices, clouds, rainbows, and mists.
