Scientific paper

An experiment designed to investigate the fine structure of the ozone and aerosol distribution in the atmosphere was performed from the Soviet orbital station Salyut 7 in September 1985. The experiment involved photographing the rising or setting sun in four wavelengths and photographing the earth's twilight aureole. Using of a previously determined mathematical algorithm, vertical distributions of ozone and aerosol and their layered structure over separate regions were retrieved from photograph analysis. The validation of the data obtained confirms the adequate accuracy of the retrieval. The analysis of the images obtained revealed the structure of the typical features of the fine structure of aerosol distribution in the troposphere and stratosphere. The aerosol layered structure was observed in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres at heights of 0-18 km and 0-36 km, respectively. In both Hemispheres the aerosol fine structure possesses an altitudinal periodicity of about 2.4-2.6 km. The ozone layers in the low stratosphere coincide with the aerosol layers or are shifted by 0.5 km down.
