The influence of atmospheric absorption and emission on infrared detection range

A graphical method is presented to determine the detection range for narrow infrared windows in dependence of atmospheric absorption and emission. The atmospheric radiation properties are deduced from theoretical and empirical data under consideration of the actual pressure, temperature and humidity...

Description
Summary:A graphical method is presented to determine the detection range for narrow infrared windows in dependence of atmospheric absorption and emission. The atmospheric radiation properties are deduced from theoretical and empirical data under consideration of the actual pressure, temperature and humidity distribution. Some examples are given for different object radiances and a highly sensitive spectral radiometer type.
