Infrared Imaging from Satellites

Infrared images of the Earth's surface and atmosphere obtained from a satellite are important to the study of the meteorology of the Earth, and present unique problems in systems design and in image conversion techniques. The known and inferred infrared properties of the Earth are the basis on which detector systems and the sensors themselves may be considered for satellite use. The improvement of sensor spectral sensitivity and response time will make possible better experiments and studies of the atmosphere in the future.
