Abstract:

The paper presents the first results of vertical observations of the spectral sky brightness in the 280—320 nm range. It is shown that the optical thickness τ in the 300—310 nm range correlates with the total ozone content X for measurements carried out at the same solar elevation angles. However, to obtain the unambiguous relationship between τ and X at different solar elevation angles it is necessary to develop in more detail the technique for taking into account the molecular and aerosol scattering and the absorption by ozone. In some specific cases the anomalous behavior of the sky brightness has been revealed in the 300—310 nm and 310—320 nm ranges before and after the Sun's culmination.
