Measurement of Atmospheric Transmission Over Long Paths in the Infrared Spectral Region.

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out in the coastal plain of Israel, near the settlement of Palmachim, about 20 km south of Tel Aviv. The Palmachim experiment was carried out over a north-south optical path of 8.6 km length, along the shore of the mediterranian. The black-body source was kept at 2100 C and the dual-channel spectroradiometer was used to measure the spectrum, using circular variable filters with 4% resolution.
