IHR (Infrared Heterodyne Radiometer) for Low Altitude Temperature Profile Retrieval.

Abstract

A technique for obtaining accurate temperature and humidity profiles with a grazing-angle up-looking radiometer has been investigated. The profiling technique is based on information retrievals which are obtained from difference-kernel functions generated from pairs of high spectral resolution radio-metric channels. Spatially selective information can be generated from such functions with the required accuracy for retrieving temperature gradients at the lower altitude atmospheric levels.
