Earth Atmosphere: Infrared Radiation

Scientific paper

This paper discusses the results of measurements of angular distributions of the thermal radiation emitted by the Earth's surface-atmosphere system in the spectral region 9 to 18 μm. The separation of contributions of the atmosphere and the Earth's surface to the outgoing radiation is achieved by extrapolating to zero air mass. In determining the atmospheric emission spectra, continuous and selective absorption by atmospheric gases is taken into account. Measurement results are compared with model calculations made using atlases of spectral lines. Spectroradiometric data obtained in the transmission window at 11.1 μm and within the water vapor absorption band at 13 μm made it possible to determine the optical depth of the atmosphere and to separate out the contribution due to attenuation of radiation by aerosols.
