Extinction by the atmosphere

Passive Infrared Detection

Abstract

The interactions of electromagnetic radiation with atmospheric constituents are related to their physical—chemical properties, and the extent of the phenomena depends on the integrated quantities over the path. In crossing the atmosphere, the obstacles encountered are

  1. 1.

    gas molecules and natural atmospheric constituents;

  2. 2.

    water in suspension (haze, fogs...);

  3. 3.

    water in a precipitative form (drizzle, rain, snow...);

  4. 4.

    smokes and dusts.
