Abstract: The net flux of radiation at the top of the atmosphere and associated quantities (albedo and outgoing longwave radiation) were computed for five successive semimonthly periods from measurements of the radiance of emitted ...

Abstract: Horizon sensors are essential elements in the orientation systems of many space vehicles and satellites. Their design and an evaluation of their capabilities and limitations requires a knowledge of the spectral radiance ...

Abstract: Three simple and typical cases of radiation fluxes measured by the TIROS III meteorological satellite are presented and discussed. These cases deal with emitted earth radiation received in three infrared channels and ...
