NOCTILUCENT clouds (NLCs) are seen mainly in the summer months at high latitudes over both hemispheres. They appear in a thin layer at a height of about 82 km in the mesopause region where temperatures are the coldest in the Earth's atmosphere. A temperature of 150 K or less at the mesopause has been shown, by rocket soundings in the presence of NLCs, to be a necessary condition for the existence of these clouds1. Rocket sampling experiments and ground-based observations indicate that NLC particles probably consist of a volatile substance, believed to be ice, coated on volatile nuclei that may be hydrated ions2,3.
