Scientific paper

The paper is devoted to a survey of the published results of measurements of vertical profiles of the structural characteristic Cn-squared of the index of refraction in the night atmosphere. An analysis of these data leads to the conclusion that the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere (more than 30 m above the surface) have the dominant role in the formation of the 'atmospheric' quality of an astronomical image.
