Image:Atmospheric absorption.png

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atmospheric absorption of electromagnetic radiation along a 1 NM sea level path.

The molecules that account for most of the absorption in the infrared region are water, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and methane.

The curve shows absorptions due to:

  1. both water and carbon dioxide at 1.4 µm, 1.85 µm, and 2.7 µm
  2. due to water only at 6 µm
  3. due to carbon dioxide only at 4.3 µm.
