摘要: Using the sun as an infrared source, we determined total atmospheric column absorbance of methane and carbon dioxide spectral lines in 8- to 10-µm region. At our laboratory located urban region, these absorbances showed fluctuations larger than can be accounted for by known variabilities background atmosphere. We interpret observations terms large changes concentration within boundary layer. These increases could affect radiative balance locations contribute heat island.
