Abstract: Pyrgeometer measurements of the broadband infrared irradiance have hitherto been limited in accuracy because temperature gradients within the instrument produce spurious signals. A new pyrgeometer that has been demonstrated ...

Abstract: This paper gives a description of a narrow-hand near-infrared radiometer that was operated during the marine stratocumulus intensive field observation program of FIRE in 1987 from the United Kingdom Meteorological Office ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors derive thermal optical depth at 3.7 and 10.8 ?m for tropical cirrus utilizing Along Track Scanning Radiometer data under nighttime conditions. By analytically solving the equation of radiative ...
