Information about THIR on board NIMBUS satellites is available at NASA:
http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/nimbus/documentation
The relevant NIMBUS users' guides contain tables of the THIR spectral response function
for the two channels at 6.7 and 11.5 microns
Values have been captured to an MS Excel file
Note that original data are provided in wavelength
