Abstract
An empirical approach is presented for reconstruction of the extensive air shower (EAS) cascade curve according to data of the Cherenkov track detector. The proposed method, unlike conventional ones, is based on experimentally measured parameters and on calculated values which weakly depend on the model of shower development.
