Abstract
The first aircraft measurements of radiation fluxes in a cloudy atmosphere date back to 1919 [26], but detailed measurements were resumed only about 30 years ago [23, 24, 27, 28]. The first Soviet measurements of the radiation characteristics of clouds were carried out at the Central Aerological Observatory [22], and a number of Soviet works on this subject were subsequently published [1, 13–16]. However, in view of the diversity of the data, the difference in measurement methods, and the insufficient volume of experimental data, it was not yet possible to establish the patterns of the radiation regime of a cloudy atmosphere. This problem became solvable only with the availability of sufficient experimental material at the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Scientific- Research Institute, the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory, and the Central Aerological Observatory. The main results of the studies carried out at these institutions will be presented below.
