| Description | In order to test the feasibility of remote sensing of the reststrahlen effect, a two-channel radiometer was constructed that sensed radiance in two channels simultaneously. The channels selected were 8.3 to 9.3 and 10.2 to 11.2 micrometers. The instrument had an instantaneous geometric field of view of 2 deg x 2 deg and a rotating mirror scan mechanism designed to produce contiguous scans from a DC-3 aircraft at approximately 10,000 ft. altitude. Signals were recorded on a magnetic tape recorder and subsequently converted to equivalent black body temperature for both channels. Results of measurements made over a number of rock types in the Maryland-Pennsylvania region are briefly discussed. |
