Brightness profiles of the thermal emission from the zodiacal cloud along the great circles in the ecliptic plane (ecliptic latitude l = 0) and perpendicular to the ecliptic plane at solar elongation ε = 90°, according to the Kelsall model and two meteoroid engineering models populated by the carbonaceous particles, as seen from Earth, for selected wavebands of the COBE, Planck, and WMAP observatories. The excess temperatures are calculated with respect to the CMB. We note that the Kelsall model emissivity modification factors were normalized using the COBE and Planck data in the three upper rows, and the left column of plots may be the best representation of the observations available at these wavelengths.
