Spectral Radiance Measurements of the Earth from High Altitudes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Spectral radiance measurements over the wavelength range of 0.24 μ to 0.28 μ were carried out using Ebert-type scanning spectrometers mounted on the aft section of an X-15 aircraft operating up to 62-km altitude. The radiance was determined as a function of scattering angle and time. The sun’s and spectrometer’s elevations and azimuths during the flight were tabulated and used to compute the scattering and diffuse reflection angles.
