pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The scheme of the experiment aiming at spectrophotometering of the twilight horizon is described. The first experience of spectrophotometering with the help of a handheld spectrograph is discussed. It is shown that such observations are useful for determining the vertical aerosol profile in the atmosphere.
