Way to Measure Infrared Rays Is Sought
New law for measuring infra red rays passing through the atmosphere could aid long range weather forecasting and military aviation. Professor John Bhrong of California Institute of Technology Pasadena and Dr W a Elsasser led observations at Mount Palomar Observatory near San Diego where the 200 inch telescope is used for explorations of other worlds. The work explains how water vapor and other gases absorb specific infrared wavelengths, helping determine atmospheric composition and the potential presence of water vapor on Mars or Venus.
