Scientific paper

Measurements are presented of the amount of scattering produced by the atmosphere from an intense light-beam projected vertically from a ruby laserE These observations have been made in Kingston, Jamaica. They show that the scattering observed from heights up to eighty kilometres may be interpreted principally in terms of Rayleigh Scattering from atmospheric moleculesE In addition, superimposed on this, an enhancement of the scattered signal between fifteen and thirty kilometres is observed, which is believed to be due to the concentration of aerosols in this height range. An account is given of the theory of the experiment and of the equipment used. The limitations of the method are discussed and a comparison is made of daytime and night-time observations, showing the different problems which arise in these two cases.
