Infrared multidetector spectrometer for remote sensing of temperature profiles in the presence of clouds.
An infrared multidetector spectrometer with channels in the 4.3-microm and 15-microm CO(2) bands for the remote sensing of temperature profiles in the presence of clouds is described. Results obtained from aircraft flights in July 1975 over ocean sites under various conditions of cloudiness demonstrate the capability of the dual frequency technique to recover surface temperatures to an accuracy of +/-0.5 K in the presence of up to 90% cloud cover.
