Caption:
AIM CIPS image of a noctilucent cloud in the northern summer polar region on July 1, 2007. The dark area centered on the pole is a region where no data were taken due to the orbit geometry. The dark area in the midst of clouds in the upper right quadrant is an ice void region. The orientation is with the United States down in the plot. The image was provided by the AIM CIPS team at the University of Colorado, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sapce Physics in cooperation with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. |

AIM CIPS image of a noctilucent cloud in the northern summer polar region on June 19, 2009. The dark area centered on the pole is a region where no data were taken due to the orbit geometry. The dark area in the midst of clouds in the upper right quadrant is an ice void region. The sharp triangular features are artifacts caused by camera field of view edge effects. The orientation is with the United States down in the plot. The image was provided by the AIM CIPS team at the University of Colorado, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sapce Physics in cooperation with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. |

AIM CIPS image of a noctilucent cloud in the northern summer polar region on June 23, 2009. Most of the dark area centered on the pole is a region where no data were taken due to the orbit geometry. This image shows some unusal cloud stuctures in the top quadrant and shows the presence of clouds almost as low as 60 degrees north. The sharp triangular features on the upper left and the clean vertical breaks in the clouds on the right are artifacts caused by camera field of view edge effects. The image was provided by the AIM CIPS team at the University of Colorado, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sapce Physics in cooperation with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. |

AIM CIPS image of a noctilucent cloud in the northern summer polar region on July 15, 2009. On this day, a broad range of cloud brightness exists from very bright in the left of the figure to relatively dim clouds on the right. The orientation is with the United States down in the plot. The image was provided by the AIM CIPS team at the University of Colorado, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sapce Physics in cooperation with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. |

Caption:
AIM CIPS image of a noctilucent cloud in the northern summer polar region on July 21, 2009. The dark area in the midst of clouds just above the North Pole is an ice void region. This image shows a highly variable cloud field with many small scale features. The clean edges in the features on the far right are artifacts caused by camera field of view edge effects. The orientation is with the United States down in the plot. The image was provided by the AIM CIPS team at the University of Colorado, Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sapce Physics in cooperation with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia.
