Abstract

Height Determination of Noctilucent Clouds-100 Years ENSO Events and Atlantic Storms Height Determination of Noctilucent remarkable colors of the sky, the moon, and the sun caught the attention of all interested people by the end Clouds—100 Years of 1883. At this time, the German professor Karl Johannes KieBling (1839-1905) dealt with studies of ABSTRAC T the atmosphere and its colors (Schroder 1983, 1997).
