Study of atmosphere characteristics using ultra-high energy cosmic rays and λ = 532 nm LIDAR

Abstract — A collaborative study of lower atmospheric layers are being carried at the Yakutsk complex EAS array using LIDAR and registration of ultra-high energy cosmic ray rate. The aim of these studies is to obtain the information on a distribution of aerosol over the altitude in the atmosphere, t...

Description
Summary:Abstract — A collaborative study of lower atmospheric layers are being carried at the Yakutsk complex EAS array using LIDAR and registration of ultra-high energy cosmic ray rate. The aim of these studies is to obtain the information on a distribution of aerosol over the altitude in the atmosphere, to estimate a transmission factor of the atmosphere and to study the effects of atmospheric conditions on registration rate of EAS with energies E ≤ 10
