The spatial angular function of thermal emission of the Moon

New satellite measurements of the lunar-surface radiation temperature are u sed to construct the spatial angular function of thermal radiation of the M oon in the infrared (10.5-12.5 mum) spectral range. The basic material for investigations is the scanned cosmic spectrozonal images of the lunar surfa ce transmitted by the first Russian geostationary artificial meteorological satellite GOMS. The formulas for calculating the angular parameters are gi ven, and the photometric function of thermal radiation of the Moon is plott ed as a function of the incidence angle, the reflection angle, and the azim uthal angle between the planes of the incident and reflected rays.
