Abstract
In order to plan experiments to determine the characteristics of atmospheric IGWs with the use of space-borne IR photoreceivers and to interpret their results, it is necessary to understand the effects accompanying IGW passage through atmospheric emission layers. For this purpose, two model problems are solved in this work. (i) In the framework of the mesoscale hydrodynamic model of the atmosphere, values were obtained for wave perturbations of night emission in the O2 atmospheric (0,0) band that are created by an instantaneous tropospheric point thermal source have. (ii) Based on the zone-averaged global circulation model of the middle atmosphere, the latitude-seasonal distribution of the nonlinear addition to the background zenith intensity of the same emission has been calculated.
