Popis: We consider the problem of night-time atmosphere monitoring at the locations of the Yakutsk EAS array and the TAIGA observatory for the annual October-April period of observations at these facilities. It is shown that the use of data from instruments aboard Terra, Aqua, Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites, received by the ground stations of the Altai State University, Russia, and processed to Level 2 (retrieval of geophysical parameters of the atmosphere), gives the possibility of the near-real-time monitoring observations of the cloud cover structure and the temperature profiles at night with a spatial resolution and a frequency sufficient for meteorological correction of the detector readings.
