Theoretical Study of Background Radiance in Upper Atmosphere.

Abstract

The Infrared Background Radiance level in the atmosphere above 60 km is estimated for various sight conditions using the two existing computer codes, the FLASH and the DEGGES. The actual computations were made by using the programs modified from these original codes for improvement of processing efficiency. (Author)
