Natural and Induced Infrared Measurements

Abstract

Infrared measurements of natural and induced sources were made and analyzed. Various spectral regions from 1 to 4.75 micrometers were measured with radiometers and a michelson interferometer. The sources included gas explosions, NH4NO3-kerosene explosions, rocket plumes, quiet night skies and night skies under auroral conditions. The data were reduced and partially analyzed. Throughout the measurements period the instruments were calibrated and improved to optimize the data obtained.
