METEOROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS OF INFRARED RADIOMETRY,

Abstract

Portable Infrared Radiation Thermometer, model 14-310, provides more accurate surface temperature measurements and cloud temperature measurements than the R-4D1 Industrial Radiometer. The use of a standard radiation source, such as melting crushed ice, while in flight makes it possible to correct for any effects of ambient temperature on the 14-310 sensing head and amplifier. Results obtained using the R-4D1 radiometer provide a basis for pursuing the development of a radiometer for free-air temperature measurement in the 15 micron (carbon dioxide) spectral region.
