Explore: Atmospheric Windows

optical, infrared and radio windows comprise the three main atmospheric windows. The windows provide direct channels for Earth's surface to receive electromagnetic

opacity); the wavelength ranges to which it is transparent are called atmospheric windows. Although the word optical, deriving from Ancient Greek ὀπτῐκός (optikós

mid-infrared region. These letters are commonly understood in reference to atmospheric windows and appear, for instance, in the titles of many papers. A third scheme

The infrared atmospheric window is an atmospheric window in the infrared spectrum where there is relatively little absorption of terrestrial thermal radiation

emission line object survey using OSIRIS tunable filters in selected atmospheric windows relatively free of sky emission lines. The total survey sky area

is important for simple glass windows, which have emissivities close to the maximum possible value of 1.0. "Low-E windows" with transparent low-emissivity

In infrared astronomy, the N band refers to an atmospheric transmission window centred on 10 micrometres (in the mid-infrared). Böker, T.; Storey, J.

surface emissions that reach space do so through the atmospheric window. The atmospheric window is a region of the electromagnetic wavelength spectrum

In infrared astronomy, the M band is an atmospheric transmission window centered on 4.8 micrometres (in the mid-infrared). Glass, I. S., ed. (1999), "Photometry"
