There are other atmospheric windows, though and you might wonder why we haven't chosen one of these?

The shuttle was only minutes from entering the atmospheric window through which it would return to earth.

The infrared atmospheric window is a path from the land-sea surface of the earth to space.

Thus, the existence of an atmospheric window is critical to Earth remaining a habitable planet.

Bonds to other halogens also absorb in the atmospheric window, though much less strongly.

There is, however, still the problem of the C-F bonds absorbing in the atmospheric window.

Window radiation is radiation that actually passes through the atmospheric window.

Atmospheric window - refers to those parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are, with the Earth's atmosphere in its natural state, not absorbed at all.

Regions of high transmitttance are called 'atmospheric windows'.

The regions of the spectrum that are not affected by absorption are called atmospheric windows (Figure 5.6).

There is also a third major atmospheric window at the wavelength of radio waves, which is why we use this for communicating.

Atmospheric windows in the infrared spectrum are also employed to perform chemical imaging remotely.

HCN can be observed from ground-based telescopes through a number of atmospheric windows.

For most sensing applications, the laser wavelength must also be within one of the atmospheric window to avoid signal attenuation.

HgCdTe is the only common material that can detect infrared radiation in both of the accessible atmospheric windows.

A recent development has been imagers for security applications as clothing and other organic materials are translucent in some mm-wave atmospheric windows.

Atmospheric window may refer to:

They have to wait for an atmospheric window to open in order to land it at Edwards Air Force Base in California."

In the atmospheric window between approximately 8000 and 14000 nm, in the far-infrared spectrum, carbon dioxide and water absorption is weak.

Non-window wavelength radiation is radiation that, judging only from its wavelength, is unlikely to pass through the atmospheric window.

With the exception of a few atmospheric windows, most of infrared light is blocked by the atmosphere, the observations generally take place from balloon or space-based instruments.

This transition occurs at 90.66 GHz, which is a point of good visibility in the atmospheric window, thus making astronomical observations of HNC particularly simple.

We don't see this because visible light lies in what is called an "atmospheric window" - it can travel relatively freely through the atmosphere without being absorbed or scattered along the way.

But if our eyes were tuned to a wavelength which was not in an atmospheric window, we would just be surrounded by a permanent fog of light scattered by the atmosphere.

In recent decades, the existence of the infrared atmospheric window has become threatened by the development of highly unreactive gases containing bonds between fluorine and either carbon or sulfur.
