Dimension Measurements from Cloud Radiance

Abstract

Infrared emissions from clouds exhibit chaotic behavior as a function of angular distance at a fixed time. Preliminary results for dimensions of the graphs of intensity vs angle for emissions at 3–5 µm and 8–12 µm are reported for a sample cloud.
