AIM FEATURED DATA ARCHIVE

20 December 2007

A view of polar mesospheric clouds (PMC) in the Southern Hemisphere on December 20, 2007 by the Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) experiment on AIM. The blue area is covered by the CIPS cameras. The white regions are PMCs measured by CIPS. Clouds are beginning to build up in the south, although at a much slower pace than in the northern season CIPS saw the first PMC in the south on December 1, 2007.
