Comparison of radiation sources sun - earth
• For wave length < 5 m solar radiation is dominant
• For wave length > 5 m radiation of earth is dominant

• Ch01, 02, 03, 12: only sun radiation
• Ch04: both: radiation from sun and earth

Application areas for the CO2 channel
• Qualitative application of images:– No additional features compared to the IR window
channels
– No special application for qualitative image interpretation (at the time being)
• Quantitative applications:– temperature profiles
– instability
– winds
