Measurements of infrared transmittance have been carried out over a wide range of climatic conditions in order to check the validity of the LOWTRAN-4 computer code. It has been found that in the region 4.3-5.5 microns, the results are substantially lower than the prediction and that the discrepancy is dependent on the water-vapor content. To investigate the discrepancy, experiments have been carried out with a controlled range of water content in the atmosphere. Analysis of the results indicates that the anomalous transmittance is due to an incorrect estimate of the continuum absorption, while the spectral component is essentially correct.
