Mother-of-pearl clouds over scandinavia in january and february 1932


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THE remarkable stratosphere clouds1 which the late Prof. Mohn called mother-of-pearl clouds, again appeared over Scandinavia several times during the months of January and February


of this year. Elaborate preparations had been made to obtain photographs and visual observations of these remarkable clouds. All my aurora stations in southern Norway were ready to take


photographs as soon as the clouds appeared, and Capt. Ween, of the Norwegian Geodetic Survey, in collaboration with me, had made preparations to take photographs with modern


photo-theodolites. Further, through the photographic stores of Nerlien in Oslo, I had secured assistance in obtaining photographs and moving pictures of the clouds in natural colours.


Through broadcasting and by articles in the Press, I asked people to send me observations of the clouds, and this proved to be a most valuable help, since I received about three hundred most


interesting reports from different parts of Scandinavia and Finland. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
