At the present time, when spaoe experiments bring us more and more information of increasing quality, it might appear questionable whether ground-based zodiacal light observations are still of interest. Nevertheless, any detailed examination of the available data (see, for example, the review paper of Leinert 1975) shows that a considerable part of our present optical knowledge of interplanetary dust has been contributed by ground-based programmes. Moreover, new available parameters arising from spaoe data, mainly in the field of heliocentric dependence of brightness, open new important abilities for a better interpretation of ground-based observations.
