Gas heating kinetics has Ьееп investigated under the conditions of а pulse-periodic discharge in air. Various mechanisms of energy supply to the translational degrees of freedom of the molecular gas have Ьееп studied. It is shown that in the active phase of pulsed discharge in air, at high values of the reduced electric field $(E/n>10^{15} V/cm^2)$, gas heating proceeds at the expense of quenching the electronically excited nitrogen molecules.
