Temperature profiles measured from six radiosonde stations located on White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, were used with the radiative transfer equation to compute the radiances. Approximately 1750 temperature profiles obtained on 69 separate days were used in the study. The separation distance between pairs of stations varied from 10 to 157 km. (Author Modified Abstract)
