Objectives of radiometric experiments performed by meteorological satellites -- to map distribution of cloud patterns both day and night and determine heights of cloud tops; to determine structure of atmosphere; to determine balance between solar energy absorbed and thermal energy emitted by earth and atmosphere; instrumentation used, experiments and their basic results; need for improvement in stability of optical sensors under prolonged flight environment is stressed.
