Open AI Summary

Summary: The document describes the establishment of a scientific station in the Sayan Mountains in the USSR by the USSR Academy of Sciences. The station's purpose is to study solar radiation's effects on the ionosphere and radio wave propagation on Earth. Additionally, the station will conduct observations of cosmic rays, terrestrial electric currents, and the terrestrial magnetic field. The station's location at over 2,000 meters above sea level in the mountains allows for clear observation of the solar disk due to the region's low cloud coverage and rarified air. The document provides details about the station's activities and purpose.

 High altitude Observation Station in the South of Siberia
 According to a news item (Ref. 6, 30 Sept 1961, p. 1) 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 oOf the ofstheute of an
 Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiow    Propagation
 Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences.                        servations The Sayan high mountains were chosen dars~,iyearfionothe average)binathat region.
 the Sun is covered by clouds only 17 days
 The transparent, noticeably rarified air permits to conduct observations of the
 solar disk without the usual interferences.
