Assessment of a Technique for Estimating Total Column Water Vapor Using Measurements of the Infrared Sky Temperature
| AUTHOR | Administration (Nasa), National Aeronaut |

| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
A method for estimating the integrated precipitable water (IPW) content of the atmosphere using measurements of indicated infrared zenith sky temperature was validated over east-central Florida. The method uses inexpensive, commercial off the shelf, hand-held infrared thermometers (IRT). Two such IRTs were obtained from a commercial vendor, calibrated against several laboratory reference sources at KSC, and used to make IR zenith sky temperature measurements in the vicinity of KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). The calibration and comparison data showed that these inexpensive IRTs provided reliable, stable IR temperature measurements that were well correlated with the NOAA IPW observations. Merceret, Francis J. and Huddleston, Lisa L. Kennedy Space Center NASA/TM-2014-218368, KSC-E-DAA-TN16078 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT; MOISTURE CONTENT; COMMERCIAL OFF-THE-SHELF PRODUCTS; WATER VAPOR; INFRARED RADIATION; THERMOMETERS; LOW COST; CALIBRATING; ESTIMATING
