Table 20.

The component of uncertainty in radiance temperature due to the uncertainty in spectral radiance as a function of wavelength and temperature. A relative expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of 0.05 % in spectral radiance was taken for the entire range of parameters. The results are stated in mK (k = 2); for parameters that would result in low levels of spectral radiance, no results are given because the measurement precision would be unacceptable
