Abstract: 
We base the possibility of using the photometric parameters of the lower ionosphere which are noticeably changed by disturbances of the Earth's electrostatic field. A set of models is proposed for the optical and near-infrared parts of spectrum. These models suggest a nonequilibrium excitation of the molecular components at altitudes near 100 km. Radiation intensities forr specific spectral ranges are estimated.
Keywords: Earth's electrostatic field, lower ionosphere, radon emission
