An analysis of attenuation and absorption lengths of the electron number using data of the KASCADE air shower experiment is presented. The following methods are used to determine these quantities: The method of constant intensity, the attenuation of the electron number at the knee with increasing atmospheric depth, the decrease of the flux at a constant electron number with increasing zenith an...
