Clear sky radiation as a function of altitude
TLDR
Using a numerical integration (Lowtran 6 code) stopped at several arbitrary base altitudes, in association with measurements from sounding balloons, clear sky radiation is determined as a function of the altitude parameter as mentioned in this paper.About:

The upper atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that electric waves can also heat the upper air when they travel through it and that the so-called Luxembourg effect can be traced to the influence of such a process.
