Scientific paper

The results of observations of the occultation of radio sources (such as the Crab Nebula) by the moon at frequencies below 100 MHz are reviewed. It is noted that in all cases there occurs refraction of radio waves in the near lunar space, indicative of the presence of a plasma above the sunlit lunar surface. A model of the vertical distribution of the charged particle concentration above the surface is proposed.
