I have been trying to get a simpler understanding of the Maarsy echoes Here goes; The Maarsy echoes detect 2 of the 3 ingredients needed to produce NLC`s. These are water molecules and dust particles. The 3rd are cold enough temperatures for these particles to freeze together to form the ice clouds The readings from Maarsy are taken from directly above the station which is situated on the Norwegian island of Andøya 69° N So the current temperatures in the mesosphere would be needed to assess the ability of the dust/ water molecules to freeze On a more pleasing note Images are beginning to turn up so we can safely say the season has begun Yesterdays Aim

Tut... me and my burgeoning dementia I`m looking forward to the next Aim to see how the clouds have developed ( will be interesting to see because the Sun is raging atm)

Not really...we`ll be clouded out But I can confirm your calculations are spot on...... the orbit strips have been released earlier this season, and they seem to show that the images were taken, for the UK orbit, around midday Timings are UTC Let the frustrations begin Edit; NASA's AIM Satellite Mission | AIM Project Science AIM.HAMPTONU.EDU The Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) NASA satellite mission is exploring PMCs/NLCs.

One of my favourite cams is Flemsburg on the German/ Denmark border. Northern facing and excellent quality and will slip into the cam gap nicely Flensburg / Blick nach Norden - Foto-Webcam.eu WWW.FOTO-WEBCAM.EU Webcam Flensburg / Blick nach Norden

Top job Jamie

Thank you ( I have kind of started it ie base map .... but fear my version wont be available till the 2023 season)

I'm in the same yearly boat of understanding, concerning the interpretation of the Maarsy echoes The list for NLC webcams which has been updated and checked from last season has been realised by the AKM website Handy because they show the Latitude of the camera Webcams (aktualisiert 19.05.2022) - AKM e.V. Forum FORUM.METEOROS.DE Edit; On the subject of the Maarsy this has appeared on their website Start - Leibniz-Institut für Atmosphärenphysik, Kühlungsborn WWW.IAP-KBORN.DE "These results are only informal. Before any other use, their validity must be confirmed by the publisher!" So careful what you post....ie post the link rather than an individual images ( from experience they can get a bit Aarsy over this subject.)

I`m going to have to Google that but I imaging that the clues on the label Edit; Brilliant....totally forgot about this little gem..... I've used it before in another life, to map trees

Manged to capture sunspot AR3014, which is one of the largest Sunspots for years, late this afternoon sunspot 21-5-22.mp4

Non Brumo

clearing over Birmingham now still a chance

Agreed, there`s to much local cloud around E Brum atm to see any flashes from over Leicester way

False strike ....hopefully a pre-cursor

If they hold together... yes

Yep...just noticed the Sun

Nice one Jamie.....Good stream Edit; which way is it facing?

2nd line approaching Birmingham shortly..... CZ setting up Possibly last chance saloon, although not confident of any sparks

Lashing down in Brum atm

False strikes I`m sure

I`m keeping an eye out for this myself... it`s a shame I'm not facing South Will start a new stream if they do.....If i can drag myself away from Mapantz steam ...he sounds like he`s getting Mullered

Well done mukka... .send em up to Brumcam now

Th The new cells Ben mentioned have began to flash

Dont apologize.....it was a very small flash
