It's a foil with alternating layers of two materials. Something like a vinyl wrap that works better than Ultrawhite paint. |
Experienced from space, that portion of the spectra, if escaping the atmosphere, 'could' be interpreted as a 'signal' from Earth.
However, with a dozen greenhouse gases present, it would be good to have at least two other independent sources corroborating the claim.
I've never experienced 'exceptions' mentioned in the reporting.

And as a reminder, Penn State University's attribution to the so-called 'atmospheric window' was in the context of only water vapor and carbon dioxide, with no mention of all the other greenhouse gases.
My opinion is that, when all the GHGs that are actually present in the troposphere are taken into account, then there would be no such thing as an 'atmospheric window.'
