| Description | Medium resolution radiometer measurements on Nimbus 2 and 3 and relatively high resolution measurements on Nimbus 4 have been made in 6.4 to 6.9 and 20 to 23 microns water vapor absorption regions where the weighed means in the observed radiation occur in the troposphere near the 400 and 600 mbar levels, respectively. An example of the imagery obtained from the Nimbus 4 temperature-humidity infrared radiometer (THIR) is shown. This example demonstrates clearly that there is a distinct pattern difference between the 6.7 microns observations coming from the midtroposphere and the more common 11.5 microns atmospheric window observations showing the emitted radiation associated with opaque surfaces such as the ground or optically thick clouds. |
