The water vapour continuum is characterised by absorption that varies smoothly with
wavelength, from the visible to the microwave. It is present within the rotational and …

Water vapour continuum absorption is an important contributor to the Earth's radiative
cooling and energy balance. Here, we describe the development and status of the MT_CKD …

This paper presents an overview of the results from the first major mesoscale atmospheric
campaign of the Large‐Scale Biosphere‐Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) …

The tipping-curve calibration method has been an important calibration technique for ground-
based microwave radiometers that measure atmospheric emission at low optical depth. The …

Based on the physico‐chemical properties of water dimers, their near infrared and visible
absorption of solar radiation in the earth's atmosphere is calculated. The calculation uses …

Advances in microbolometer detectors have led to the development of infrared cameras that
operate without active temperature stabilization. The response of these cameras varies with …

The along‐track scanning radiometer (ATSR), launched in July 1991 on ERS‐1, is an
infrared radiometer designed to permit retrieval of skin sea surface temperature (SST) to the …

Research funded by the US Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement
(ARM) program has led to significant improvements in longwave radiative transfer modeling …

The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) is one of the key instruments under development for
the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) program …

Infrared radiances from water become partially polarized at oblique viewing angles through
both emission and reflection. I describe computer simulations that show how the state of …
