Scientific paper

Stellar occultation measurements obtained from the Salyut-6 BST-1M telescope were used to study ozone concentrations in the upper atmosphere. The measurements were taken in the range of ozone absorption (2560 + or - 40 A), at heights ranging from approximately 70 to 100 km. The occultation sources used were the star Sirius and the UV-bright star Beta-Centaurus, with a tangent point in the region of the Marquesas Islands. The measurements are found to be in general agreement with those of previous studies up to the 80 km altitude range, but at altitudes exceeding 80 km distinct features were found which are considered to warrant further investigation.
