IRKUTSK RADIATION LAB -- A SCIENTIFIC STATION TO STUDY SOLAR RADIATION
IS BEING SET UP BY THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES IN THE SPURS OF THE EASTERN
SAYANY RANGE, MORE THAN 2,000 TWO THOUSAND METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THE
STATION WILL STUDY THE EFFECTS OF SOLAR RADIATION ON THE IONOSPHERE AND ON
THE PROPAGATION OF RADIOWAVES ON THE EARTH. THEY WILL ALSO CONDUCT OBSERVATIONS
OF COSMIC RAYS AND STUDY TERRESTRIAL ELECTRIC CURRENTS AND THE TERRESTRIAL
MAGNETIC FIELD.

PERIODIC REPORT ON AEROSPACE IN THE USSR: 61-18
High altitude Observation Station in the South of Siberia
SG1A
According to a news item (Ref. 6, 30 Sept 1961, p. 4) the first high
altitude station of the Sun Service in the eastern part of the USSR is
being opened in Sayan Mts. at an altitude of over 2,000 m. above sea level.
The station belongs to the mountain-solar expedition of the Institute of
Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation of the Siberian
Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences.
The Sayan high mountains were chosen for scientific observations because
the Sun is covered by clouds only 17 days a year, on the average, in that region.
The transparent, noticeably rarified air permits to conduct observations of the
solar disk without the usual interferences.
