Scientific paper

The study of upper-atmosphere chemical processes with the aid of the intense pulse of visible and ultra-violet light which is emitted in a nuclear explosion is discussed. It is shown that the large scale photodissociation effects can help explain the excitation mechanism of most of the principal natural airglows. In addition, this strong artificial lamp can be used as a source for stimulating and studying the twilight flashes, for observing recombination processes, and oven for measuring the concentration and ultra-violet absorption of atmospheric species.
