The purposes of this investigation are (1) to measure vertical distribution of net flux of solar energy and planetary emission in the region of the atmosphere from 0.1 to 10 bars, (2) to determine the location of cloud layers, and (3) to obtain evidence on the mixing ratios of selected constituents and the opacity of clouds and aerosols in the infrared. A multichannel radiometer measures flux in about 30-deg cones alternately centered plus or minus 45 deg from the Probe horizontal. The radiometer has an onboard calibration system (two black bodies), a multidetector array (with channels at approximately 0.3 - 3.0, 0.3 - 2000, 20 - 30, 30 - 40, and 40 - 60 micrometers), and an array of six pyroelectric detectors. The radiometer is mounted on ... ...Show More
