Radiometric Surface Temperature Measurements and Fluctuations in Sky Radiant Emittance in the 600 to 1300 cm–1 Waveband1

Jack Conaway2 and C. H. M. van Bavel3

Observations of sky radiant emittance in the 600 to 1300 cm–1 (7.5-16µ) waveband were made near Phoenix, Ariz., in the spring of 1966 in connection with radiometric measurement of soil surface temperatures. A marked diurnal fluctuation was found which appeared to be correlated with high ozone concentrations near the ground, in turn caused by local air pollution.

Key Words: ozone • evaporation • emittance
