Scientific paper

LUMINOUS night clouds were observed in the northern sky in Scotland on the nights of July 9-10 and July 10-11, the extensive display showing characteristic wave structure in the early morning of July 11 being quite magnificent. Brilliantly blue-white in colour, the night clouds appeared about half an hour after sunset in a sky almost clear of normal cloud, were most brilliant during the hour after midnight and faded in the growing light before sunrise. A series of simultaneous photographs (one pair is reproduced here) by Störmer-Krogness auroral cameras from Abernethy and Blairgowrie will yield measurements of height, direction and speed of movement, as also of distance between successive wave-crests.
