Abstract

Apparatus and procedure of measuring the atmospheric radio emission simultaneously in two atmospheric windows are described. The results of measurements of the sky brightness temperature and obtained atmospheric optical depth values are reported. The diurnal and seasonal variations of the sky temperature and zenith absorption as well as their relation to weather parameters of nearsurface atmospheric layer are discussed.
