摘要: Polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) form at very high altitude (around 80 km) over latitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Because of their altitude, seasonality, tenuous nature, PMCs are not well understood. This letter presents a method for detecting using geostationary satellite images Earth's limb. The is tested against data from Aeronomy Ice Mesosphere mission that was specifically designed PMC detection. It found new successful seasonal trends formation and, due to larger set images, may allow examination temporal properties greater detail than possible by satellites polar orbit.
