Important request from Dr. Gerd Baumgarten, Leibniz-Institut fuer Atmosphaerenphysik On July 22-23, 2004 the lidars at ALOMAR and the Esrange (Northern
Norway /northern Sweden) observed a NLC simultaneously. To compare our
measurements we are interested in other observations of NLCs in that
night. I am especially interested in photos of NLC observations on July
22-23, 2004. Any observers who can help should e-mail Dr.Baumgarten:
