[submitted] infrared_comparison: Compare the thermal-infrared sky brightness of polar and mid-latitude sites

infrared_comparison compares the downwelling infrared radiation, or sky spectral brightness, of arctic/antarctic astronomical observing sites with the best mid-latitude mountain sites. The code site provides a tarfile of Fourier-transform spectra from 3.3 microns 20 microns, obtained near Eureka, on Ellesmere Island Canada, along with meteorological data. The code can compare these via an atmospheric thermal-inversion model to reported values for South Pole and other mid-latitude sites, such as Maunakea.
