Abstract

Abstract : Recent work on the infrared transmission spectrum of the atmosphere of the earth is reviewed and discussed. The principal laboratory effort has been studies of absorption bands of CO2, H2O, CO, CH4, N2O, and O3 in (synthetic) or simulated atmospheres, in which nitrogen or oxygen is used as the foreign gas under controlled conditions of concentration, pressure and path length. Some recent open air studies from balloons and high altitude aircraft are described, and the principal techniques of estimating open air slant path transmission from the laboratory data are described.
