The atmospheric radiance is collected by the front-end optics (mainly steering mirrors and a telescope) and directed to the Michelson interferometer which allows to measure broadband spectra with a very good spectral resolution. The second input port to the interferometer is closed with a cold blackbody to suppress disturbing radiance. 3, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20radiance

La radiance marine étant obtenue par soustraction de la radiance atmosphérique de la radiance totale, une surestimation de la composante atmosphérique a pour effet de sous-estimer la radiance marine ; ce qui est particulièrement apparent aux courtes longueurs d'onde. 1, record 1, French, - radiance%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
