Spectroscopic study of corona-discharge plasma in inert gas mixtures with impurities of water vapor and air

Positive corona discharge in inert gas mixtures with impurities of water vapor and air in small amounts at pressures of 100–300 kPa is studied. Experiments are carried out on a scale model with a system of gas mixture-pumping of the “electric wind” type. Uzhgorod State University, 46, Pidgirna St., Uzhgorod, 294000, Ukraine.

Experimental investigation of variability of ultraviolet fluxes at the earth's surface

Some results of two years of regular measurements of UV radiation at the earth's surface in Siberia (56.5^o N, 85^o E) are given. It is shown that the presence of snow cover increases the UV irradiation of the earth by scattered radiation by 9–15%. In cloudless but windy weather, quasi-periodic fluctuations of UV irradiation with periods of 5–15 min and with fluctuation swings of 1–10% are observed. Low-level, heavy cloudiness in summer considerably reduces (by an average of 30–35%) UV irradiation, especially when the sun is low (down to 30^o). Mid-and upper-level clouds increase the UV irradiation of the earth by scattered radiation. When the sun is high (30–50^o) and there is heavy cloudiness, this increase can reach 28% in the UV-A spectral range. Tomsk State University. Academician V. D.
