Abstract: This article analyzes fields of noctilucent clouds (NLCs) over the territory of the Russian Federation recorded by a ground-based network of cameras and by aircraft photography over two nights in June 2021. It is demonstrated that aircraft photography can significantly improve the coverage of the territory of probable appearance of NLCs. The NLC fields are compared with model regions of water vapor condensation derived from satellite measurements of temperature and water vapor mixing ratio. Practical steps are proposed for the development of aircraft observations of NLCs.
