Summary
| Description |
English: Graph shows the energy-density spectrum of outgoing thermal radiation from Earth at wave numbers ranging 400-1600 cm-1. Equivalent wavelengths of 6.3-25 microns are in the infrared band. Radiance data was measured on May 5, 1970 with NASA's IRIS instrument on the Nimbus 4 satellite.
This is one of the earliest observations of Earth's outgoing longwave radiation that have since become critical to monitoring our planet's energy balance. Data Citation: Hansel, Rudolf A., et al.
