Satellite Observations of Infrared Radiation.

Abstract

The problem of atmospheric radiation geometry is considered to determine the efficiency with which observed satellite data could be used to calculate components of the radiation budget of the atmosphere. For this purpose, and as an aid in interpretation of satellite observations, the anisotropy of the out-going radiation intensity at the top of the atmosphere and at the satellite level is studied.
