“…Assuming that the magnitude difference is the same irrespective of the measurement instrument M 01 − M 02 = M * 01 − M * 02 , where M * 0 refers to the extraterrestrial magnitudes taken from the astronomical catalogue of Alekseeva et al (1996). Equation (6) can then be rewritten in the following form:…”

Abstract. We present recent progress on nighttime retrievals of aerosol and cloud optical properties over the PEARL (Polar Environmental Atmospheric Research Laboratory) station at Eureka (Nunavut, Canada) in the High Arctic (80 • N, 86 • W). In the spring of 2011 and 2012, a star photometer was employed to acquire aerosol optical depth (AOD) data, while vertical aerosol and cloud backscatter profiles were measured using the CANDAC Raman Lidar (CRL). We used a simple backscatter coefficient threshold (β thr ) to distinguish aerosols from clouds and, assuming that aerosols were largely fine mode (FM)/sub-micron, to distinguish FM aerosols from coarse mode (CM)/super-micron cloud or crystal particles. Using prescribed lidar ratios, we computed FM and CM AODs that were compared with analogous AODs estimated from spectral star photometry. We found (β thr dependent) coherences between the lidar and star photometer for both FM events and CM cloud and crystal events with averaged, FM absolute differences being <∼ 0.03 when associated R 2 values were between 0.2 and 0.8. A β thr sensitivity study demonstrated that zero crossing absolute differences and R 2 peaks were in comparable regions of the β thr range (or physical reasons were given for their disparity). The utility of spectral vs. temporal cloud screening of star photometer AODs was also illustrated. In general our results are critical to building confidence in the physical fidelity of derived, weak amplitude, star photometry AODs and, in turn, towards the development of AOD climatologies and validation databases for polar winter models and satellite sensors.

“…(8). Thus, the two-star method allows the use of extraterrestrial star magnitudes obtained from star catalogues (Alekseeva et al, 1996). This approach permits the computation of d atm (l) without the instrument calibration.…”

“…Very precise data on 238 secondary spectrophotometric standards were collected by Glushneva et al (1992). The Pulkovo Spectrophotometric Catalog (Alekseeva et al 1996(Alekseeva et al , 1997 should also be mentioned among the most representative and precise spectrophotometric atlases. In these atlases, the observed spectral range is 3000-11 000Å (with a 50-Å increment), and the total number of stars is about 2000.…”

Abstract. The purpose of this review is to analyze main directions of creation and functioning of major data sources developed by Russian astronomers or with their participation and to compare them with the worldwide trends in these fields. We discuss astronomical space missions of the past, present, and future (Astron, INTEGRAL, WSO-UV, Spectrum Roentgen Gamma, Lyra-B), high-quality photometric atlases and catalogues, and spectroscopic data sources, primarily VALD and the global VAMDC framework for the maintenance and distribution of atomic and molecular data. We describe collection, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data on minor bodies of the Solar System and on variable stars. Also described is the project joining data for all observational types of binary and multiple stars, Binary star DataBase (BDB).
