Abstract

The question of the physical mechanism of electromagnetic radiation scattering by mesospheric (noctilucent) clouds is considered. A hypothesis has been expressed about the special electromagnetic characteristics of nanometer-sized ice particles that make up mesospheric clouds. Particle ice consists of a recently discovered crystalline modification of water — ice 0, formed by the condensation of vapor on dust particles at temperatures of –140…–23°C. Ice 0 is a ferroelectric, and upon contact with a dielectric, a layer with high electrical conductivity is formed. Due to plasmon resonance in nanosized layers, strong scattering of electromagnetic radiation occurs over a wide frequency range. This mechanism causes the glow of noctilucent clouds when illuminated by the radiation of the Sun.
