spectral-total hemispherical emissivity

[2.13.8.2] ε(x,y,2π,T), (at a point on the surface of a thermal radiator)
The ratio of the radiant exitance of the thermal radiator at temperature T, at the given point on the surface, to that of a blackbody at the same temperature T.

\epsilon \left ( x,y,2\pi ,T \right )=\left ( 1/\pi \right )\int _{2\pi } \epsilon \left ( x,y, \theta,\phi ,T \right ) cos \theta d \omega
=\left ( 1/\pi \right )\int_{0}^{\infty }\int _{2\pi } \epsilon \left ( \lambda ,x,y, \theta ,\phi ,T \right ) cos \theta d\omega d\lambda
= M\left ( x,y,T \right )/M_{bb}\left ( T \right )
