Investigation of noctilucent clouds from space
Abstract
The work examines results of experimental studies of noctilucent clouds (NCs) for the period from the IGY to the present. Particular attention is given to space observations of NCs. Problems of the morphology, dynamics, and optics of NCs are considered along with the relationship between NCs and various geophysical, heliophysical, and space-physical phenomena.
