Book Description
A side-looking infrared radiometer operating in a narrow spectral interval in the 15 micrometers carbon dioxide band was flown on a balloon platform. Data were obtained over the altitude range from 9.4 to 30 km. The resulting radiance measurements are compared with calculations making use of independent rawinsonde measurements obtained during the balloon flight. These comparisons indicate a systematic discrepancy of a few percent at lower altitudes increasing to 20 percent near 20 km. This discrepancy is found to be consistent with a previous study of satellite based radiances. Possible sources of this discrepancy are investigated and rejected, leading the authors to question the assumption that the source function is equal to the Planck intensity.

DMSP Water Vapor Radiances
Author: Francis R. Valovcin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Clouds
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
SSH data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program were received for analysis and evaluation. Valuable inherent water vapor information is contained in the eight DMSP Water Vapor Channels that operate in the 18-30 micrometer rotational water vapor band. Middle and/or high tropospheric cloudiness may be determined by analysis of the spectral radiances measured by the various DMSP water vapor channels. Clear or cloudy conditions may be determined by analysis of the slope of the spectral radiance of only three DMSP SSH Channels. (Author).
