Abstract The paper contains the photometric and polarimetric analysis of the sky background near the zenith during the twilights and the nights of different years and seasons. The period of enhanced tropospheric aerosol content during the summer 2009 is noticed. The aerosol scattering of solar emission is separated from the total twilight sky background, and similar data on lunar emission is taken from the night sky background. The results are compared with the data of relatively clear troposphere of winter 2006. The observational data are used to construct the polarization scattering function of tropospheric aerosol particles during the nighttime.
