Abstract: Nimbus 4 IRIS spectra (2.8 cm?1 spectral resolution) exhibit a number of narrow window regions in the 700?1300 cm?1 region suitable for estimating surface temperature from infrared remote sounding measurements. Degraded ...

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 ...
