Description of a spectral atmospheric radiation monitoring network

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6512479
A modest network of four radiometers is described which will be used to make spectral infrared atmospheric emission measurements on a continuous basis starting in the summer of 1978. A commercial infrared radiometer (Barnes model 12-880) forms the basis of the field instrument package. This radiometer is equipped with an eight position filter wheel, an external chopper, and a pyroelectric detector. The detector and filter wheel are located in a cavity behind a germanium lens, which has a 2/sup 0/ field of view, and the cavity is maintained at a reference temperature of 45/sup 0/C.
