Scientific paper

PMC imaging data from the Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) experiment on the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission and temperature data from the SABER on the TIMED satellite are used to demonstrate the inter-dependence of temperature and PMC occurrence. The measured CIPS PMC occurrence is seen to be anti-correlated with SABER temperatures. In the middle of the PMC 2007 season (from solstice to 20 days past solstice), the cloud frequency shows a wave 2 signature, with maxima near longitudes of zero and 180° that are about 25 percent larger than at other longitudes, whereas the SABER temperatures show minima at these longitudes with warmer temperatures at longitudes where CIPS shows frequency minima. The SABER temperatures vary about 3K. We will also present and compare CIPS PMC frequency data as a function of latitude for the 2007 Northern and 2007/2008 Southern season.
