Measured and Calculated Earth-Atmosphere Radiance in the 8-14-mu Window as a Function of Altitude.
Aircraft measurements of the earth-atmosphere radiance in the 8-14-mu window are compared with calculated values as a function of altitude. Two instruments, the Barnes PRT-4 radiometer and the Block 16T interferometer spectrometer, were used. The theoretical model is found to describe satisfactorily the integrated radiance from the earth and lower atmosphere.
