Book Description
Defense Meteorological Satellite measurements of the upwelling radiation in the sounder channels of the 15 micrometer CO2 band have been compared with calculations for a number of clear atmosphere conditions. Great care was used to ensure that complete radiosonde and rocketsonde data coincident in space and time were available. The methods of transmittance and radiance calculations are described and the results compared directly with the satellite measurements. The results indicate a systematic discrepancy in all but one channel. Calculations in general exceeded the measured radiances. (Author).
