Selected Chapters from the book «Mesospheric noctilucent clouds. Problems and solutions.»

4.1 Study of NLC fields

The basic requirements for the observations of mesosphere Noctilucent clouds (NLC). Noctilucent clouds (NLC) and aspects of the projection of NLS fields on the earth’s surface are presented. Projection of NLS fields on the earth’s surface To study NLC geographical location and their motions, photogrammetric processing of the obtained pictures is required. It means obtaining […]

4.2 Dynamics of noctilucent clouds (NLC)

The main results of the study of the dynamics of noctilucent clouds (NLC) are presented. Estimates of the heights of the silver clouds, the direction and speed of their movement are given. The main results of the dynamics noctilucent clouds (NLC) As we already mentioned, in order to process the received observational data, we created […]

4.3 The optical design of the spectrometer

The photo, principal design and optical scheme of the mid-resolution spectrometer for observation of a wide field of the twilight segment and mesosphere silver clouds (NLC) are presented. The problems of allocation of MSO spectra in «pure» form are discussed. The optical design of the spectrometer its design and appearance Therefore, during the preparation of […]

4.4 Spectra of noctilucent clouds

The main results of the study of the spectra of noctilucent clouds (NLC) are presented. It is discussed that the formation of their spectra involves not only the processes of aerosol scattering by MSO particles, but also the effects of fluorescence. The role of water vapor in the formation of fields of silvery clouds is […]
