transmissivity

(ˌtrænzmɪˈsɪvɪtɪ)

(General Physics) physics a measure of the ability of a material to transmit radiation, equal to the internal transmittance of the material under conditions in which the path of the radiation has unit length

Also, the performances of these models when considering several locations spread in the country were a bit worse than those reported by specific locations [51-53], which is mainly caused by the greater [Q.sub.g] variability observed around the country with the different atmospheric transmissivity caused by diverse cloud types.

In that work sapphire emission was excluded from the infrared recordings by using two filters of center wavelength 3.275 [micro]m and 3.86 [micro]m, where sapphire was expected to have high transmissivity. Glass and like materials become opaque in the region of about 4-5 [micro]m [23].
