Scientific paper

The Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) experiment is one of the three instruments on board the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) spacecraft that was launched into sun-synchronous orbit on April 25, 2007. CIPS is a 4 camera wide-field (120° x 80°) imager designed to measure PMC morphology and particle properties and has a spatial resolution of 1 x 2 km in the nadir. One of the objectives of AIM is to investigate gravity wave effects on PMC formation and evolution. In this work we present an analysis of gravity waves observed in PMC's near 80 - 85 km altitude in both Northern and Southern hemisphere summers of 2007 - 2008 season. We present maps of polar gravity wave activity in both hemispheres. The observed gravity waves will be analyzed for hemispherical similarities or differences. The gravity waves detected shall be analyzed for any variations in wave scales which show a seasonal or latitudinal dependence.
