MEASUREMENT OF INFRARED SPECTRAL COMPONENTS FLOWING UPWARD AND DOWNWARD IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

Raw data of a balloon flight to determine the spectral components of infrared radiation, flowing up and downward in the atmosphere, has been previously reported. This report presents the analysis of those data, giving the flux quantita tively, in the infrared bands (each one micron wide) extending from 8 to 25 microns. Flux upward and downward at various altitudes is given.
