Abstract

There is considered the basis of nonlinear atmospheric optic. For our investigations, we used the spectral observations received by E.Karkoshka in 1993 and 1995 on the ESO (European Southern Observatory) from 300 to 1000 nm. We received such nonlinear optical effects as appearance of second harmonic of the methane bands in the Jupiter’s and Saturn’s spectrum.
