TRANSMITTANCE OF THIN ATMOSPHERIC LAYERS IN THE 1-13 MICRON RANGE

Abstract

The problem of the applicability of the exponential law and the square-root law to describe the attenuation of infrared radiation is considered for layers of water (1/10,000) to (1/100) cm thick. Quantitative data are obtained for the spectral and integral transmittance of thin atmospheric layers (up to 3 m) in the 1-13 micron range. (Author)
