Infrared Radiometry Experiment on Mariner 9

Creators: Chase, S. C., Jr.; Hatzenbeler, H.; Kieffer, H. H.; Miner, E.; Münch, G.; Neugebauer, G.

Abstract

The brightness temperatures at 10 and 20 micrometers measured by the Mariner 9 infrared radiometer differ substantially from those predicted by the radiometer results of Mariners 6 and 7. The results indicate a significant latitude-dependent contribution of the atmospheric dust to the observed thermal emission.
