Thermal emission spectra of the Earth and atmosphere from the Nimbus 4 Michelson interferometer experiment.
Profiles of atmospheric temperature, humidity and ozone can be recovered from the thermal emission spectra in the interval 400 to 1,500 cm(-1) obtained from the Nimbus 4 satellite. The spectra can also be used to study surface restrahlen effects and other geophysical and meteorological phenomena.
