Abstract

A series of line by line source and background infrared simulation calculations have been carried out in the 4.3 m spectral region in order to identify candidate spectral bands for study using balloon and ultimately spaceborne sensors. Source signatures are presented in terms of apparent radiant intensity produced by a volume of hot CO2 located at altitudes ranging from 0 to 20 km as observed from altitudes of 30, 44 and 100 km. Backgrounds, including terrain, clouds and atmospheric emission have been calculated and are presented both spectrally and as inband radiant intensity. A cursory discussion of non-LTE atmospheric emissions occurring above 60 km is presented and the feasibility of looking up from a balloon borne platform to observe these emissions is addressed. A comparison of source and background signatures is given together with a discussion of the band selection process.
