A study of the solar radiation effect on the 4.3-micro m channels of the high-resolution infrared radiation sounder

Measurements of infrared radiation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration series of satellites are used to retrieve atmospheric temperature, moisture, and ozone. It is well known that the measurements from the 4.3 mum channels of the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS...

Description
Summary:Measurements of infrared radiation from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration series of satellites are used to retrieve atmospheric temperature, moisture, and ozone. It is well known that the measurements from the 4.3 mum channels of the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) are affected by solar radiation.
