In a word, it's ABOVE the tropopause in the stratosphere - the word
nacreous comes from the brilliant iridescence it has. Most often seen in
conjunction with deep low pressure systems - I was chasing the cold
front of this system (looking for funnels and tornadoes) in the Borders
when I saw this rare event.

There's believed to be a link with this cloud and ozone depletion(????)
