The spectral brightness coefficients of soil samples contaminated with different oil product types are experimentally measured in the 1.6–2.5 μm spectral range. The influence of soil moisture and rainfall on the reflection spectra of soils (several types of sand and soil from forest and park areas) contaminated by oil products (of Moscow and Samara oil processing plants, kerosene, gas condensate, various gasoline brands, motor oils, and diesel fuel) is studied. It is shown that spectral dips near 1.73 and 2.3 μm (typical for soils contaminated with oil products) in most cases remain in the reflectance spectra under conditions of moderately moist soil, moderate rain, and even heavy rain. A specially created neural network shows the probability of detecting oil pollution on the land surface to be more than 99% under conditions of moderately moist soil and moderate rain and more than 88% under conditions of heavy rain and moist soil for 14 spectral channels 10 nm wide in the 1.6–2.4 μm range.

Oscillations of the polar stratosphere of the Northern Hemisphere in the period from 1979 to 2023 are studied based on ERA5 reanalysis data. The method of current spectra is used to study the variations in the periodicity of wave processes in the polar stratosphere for different time intervals. As the main indicator of the wave properties of the stratosphere, we use the field of the vertical component of the wind velocity in the region between 60° and 90° N. It is shown that in some years, oscillations of the stratosphere coincide with or are close to the periods of the main waves of the fortnightly and monthly lunar gravitational tide. The causes and consequences of the oscillatory processes synchronization in the polar stratosphere with the lunar gravitational tide are discussed.

The concentration of formed fragments is maximal in approximately 2 μs after the action of a fragmenting laser pulse (266 nm). It is found that a delay of 2 μs between a laser pulse (247.78 nm) and a fragmenting pulse multiply increases the fluorescence intensity, by approximately 7 times compared to the single-pulse excitation method and approximately 2.3 times compared to simultaneous double-pulse action.
