Abstract
The results of the “Terminator” space experiment on board the International Space Station are presented. Images of Earth’s atmosphere are obtained in the near IR spectral range with the limb geometry of observations under a full moon. The calculated vertical profiles of volume emission/scattering rate point that the aerosol layer occurs within the height region of 80–100 km in Earth’s atmosphere. It is proposed that this layer is meteoric in origin. Estimates show that the size spectrum of aerosol particles lies within the 1–100 nm range.
期刊介绍：
Geomagnetism and Aeronomy is a bimonthly periodical that covers the fields of interplanetary space; geoeffective solar events; the magnetosphere; the ionosphere; the upper and middle atmosphere; the action of solar variability and activity on atmospheric parameters and climate; the main magnetic field and its secular variations, excursion, and inversion; and other related topics.
