Far IR light intensity as a function of altitude

[QUOTE="mfb, post: 5741804, member: 405866"] For the same solid angle, that should cancel with the inverse square law. Without absorption or emission in the air the mean intensity should not change. You just average over a larger area (make sure you measure a homogeneous area). You can check the emission values and compare them. A sensor that is not in direct sunlight avoids that issue.Infrared will be scattered in the atmosphere, sure, and you have to think how this influences your measurements. Measurements in different directions could help to distinguish between different infrared sources.There are many commercial detectors for this wavelength range. You might have to filter out other wavelength ranges first if the detector doesn't do that. [/QUOTE]
