In an attempt to obtain direct evidence on the reflectivities and transmissions of thin high-level clouds in the infra-red, measurements of radiation at the surface are being made as part of a continuing study. The present work is a theoretical study of the results which one may expect to obtain for various typical atmospheric conditions. The conclusions reached are that the effects of carbon dioxide absorption and solar radiation are negligible, as are fluctuations in the ozone content. The effect of water vapour is important but can be determined from the routine radiosonde soundings. [...]
