RESEARCH ON ULTRAVIOLET BACKGROUND MEASUREMENTS.
Abstract
The purpose of the effort described in this report was to supplement ultraviolet spectral radiance data reported under a previous effort and to obtain ultraviolet radiance data at the horizon from an X-15 airplane flying above the ozone layer. Data obtained on two flights are detailed in the report. Measurements of backscatter from the atmosphere just below the horizon yielded radiance values in the range 3 x 10 to the minus 8th power to 10 x 10 to the minus 8th power watts/sq cm -ster-m microns at 2850 A and 77 x 10 to the minus 8th power to 92 x 10 to the minus 8th power watts/sq cm -ster-m microns at 3140 A.
