Scientific paper

A method is described for determining the optical transmittance of the near-surface, 6-7-km-thick atmospheric layer for a light source with a spectrum corresponding to Cerenkov radiation from charged particles of extensive air showers, formed as a result of interactions between cosmic rays and air atoms. The paper presents mean values of transmission for Cerenkov radiation through this atmospheric layer, obtained for the wavelength interval 300-800 nm at the Yakutsk installation for measurements of extensive air showers.
