The StarDICE experiment strives to establish an instrumental metrology chain with a targeted accuracy of 1 mmag in bandpasses to meet the calibration requirements of next-generation cosmological surveys. Atmospheric transmission is a significant source of systematic uncertainty. We propose a solution relying on an uncooled infrared thermal camera to evaluate gray extinction variations.
