A range of wavelengths over which there is relatively little absorption of radiation by atmospheric gases. 4, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20window
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The major windows are the visible window, from 0.3 to 0.9 m; the infrared window, from 8 to 13 m; and the microwave window, at wavelengths longer than 1 mm. The infrared window loses much of its transparency under very humid conditions due to continuum absorption by water vapor, and can become completely opaque when clouds are present. 4, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20window

La figure ci-dessous représentant la transmittance atmosphérique montre que si l'atmosphère est relativement transparente dans le domaine du visible (400 nm - 700 nm), elle ne laisse passer le rayonnement que dans un nombre limité de bandes spectrales dans l'infrarouge. Les régions du spectre utiles pour la télédétection sont celles qui sont peu affectées par le phénomène d'absorption atmosphérique. Elles sont appelées fenêtres atmosphériques. 6, record 1, French, - fen%C3%AAtre%20atmosph%C3%A9rique

El balance de energía en el sistema Tierra-atmósfera se establece de acuerdo a la relación que existe, en término medio, entre la radiación el sol que penetra en la atmósfera y la radiación saliente de onda larga. La radiación saliente, que escapa por la ventana atmosférica, se equilibra con la radiación solar entrante. Por lo tanto, la atmósfera como la superficie están más calientes de lo que estarían en el caso de que no existieran los gases de efecto invernadero(IPCC, 1990). 3, record 1, Spanish, - ventana%20atmosf%C3%A9rica
