Аналіз забруднення атмосфери аерозолями в умовах блискавок

This work investigates the feasibility of using lightning discharges as a natural high-energy radiation source for atmospheric sounding. Based on the typical energy distribution of lightning self-radiation, radiative transfer through cloud aerosols composed of water vapor and pollutant particles—such as quartz, sodium chloride, and soil-derived organic matter—was modeled. Scattering indicatrices x(θ)x(\theta)x(θ) for X-ray and gamma radiation were calculated. Solutions to the radiative transfer equation were compared under both single and multiple scattering approximations. For the first time, a spectroscopic method is proposed for identifying aerosol properties based on singly scattered radiation spectra.
