PREPARATION OF DATA FROM THE BAIRD-ATOMIC AIRBORNE INFRARED RADIOMETER

Abstract

Infrared background-radiance measurements obtained from a U-2 aircraft platform were digitized and prepared for analysis with ancillary data such as cloud type and scattering angle incorporated. The final prepared form described in this report allows easy access to the data by using an IBM 7090 computer or other computers which can read seven-track, 1/2-in. IBM binary tape format at 556 bits/in. A data unpacking subroutine written in assembly language for the 7090 is also described. Some results of analysis of these data are presented here, and other analysis results are referenced.
