Abstract: A hand-held spectrograph-camera has been used by the Gemini-5 astronauts to obtain spectra of sunlight reflected from clouds in the region of the oxygen ?A? band near 7600 Å. The transmittance measurements at selected ...

Abstract: The infrared radiance data obtained from measurements by the TIROS satellites have been used to deduce the limb darkening. Large numbers of data permit a statistical treatment in a matrix of radiance and local zenith angle. ...

Abstract: TIROS I pictures of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, taken during the first days after launch, have clearly revealed areas of ice. The ice patterns found in two series of pictures are mapped. Also shown are aircraft observations ...

Abstract: A new approach is presented to the problem of specifying constraints on retrieval estimators used to calculate vertical temperature profiles from satellite measurements of upwelling radiance. An unsupervised classification ...

Abstract: The balloon model of the Satellite Infrared Spectrometer has been flown with balloons at altitudes of about 30 km. from Palestine, Tex. and Sioux Falls, S. Dak. The instrument was calibrated in flight by reference to an ...

Abstract: The statistical minimum-rms inversion method used to obtain temperature profiles, requires estimates of covariance matrices and means for Planck function profiles of the atmosphere. In order to obtain these estimates over ...

Abstract: The TIROS II meteorological satellite carried a multiple channel radiometer of medium resolution (about 5 deg). Two of the channels were designed to measure the upward radiation in the ?window? at 8?12 microns, and over ...
