Abstract

The method of reckoning with the screening effect of the atmosphere developed by the present writer has made it possible to obtain a more authentic idea about the luminous layer of atmospheric sodium at heights of 70-120 km. This method has also made it possible to establish new properties of this layer (dependence of the height of the layer maximum on the concentration of sodium atoms in the maximum, etc. These conclusions are based on systematic measurements of twilight sodium emission conducted at the Abastumani Astrophysics Observatory. Processing from definite conceptions about the mechanism of formation of the sodium layer theoretical explanations of the seasonal changes in the height and the Seasonal developments in the twilight sodium glow intensities are given.
