Abstract:

The efficiency of the use of a passive method for correlation of gas light filters for measuring the content of methane in the atmosphere in different spectral intervals is analyzed. The effect of atmospheric gases (Н₂О, N₂O) and air temperature on the measuring error is considered. The optimal concentration of methane in a correlation chamber of a space radiometer for measuring the total content of methane in the atmosphere is determined.
