Short summary
Both the day-to-day analysis and superposed epoch analysis of the noctilucent cloud (NLC) data revealed conspicuous correlations between NLCs and the solar wind magnetic fields, in both polar regions. The responses in the Southern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere are opposite, and the lag time is fairly short. These two features are beyond the explanations of previously proposed solar photodissociation origin or dynamic origin for the solar–NLC link, and a possible new mechanism is discussed.
