A MODEL OF A CLEAR STANDARD ATMOSPHERE FOR ATTENUATION IN THE VISIBLE REGION AND INFRARED WINDOWS.
Abstract
A clear standard atmosphere for determining attenuation in the visible region and infrared windows is defined. The derivation of the model is based on a Rayleigh atmoshpere with an aerosol component determined by recent sea-level and high-altitude measurements. The format of the model is a series of tabulations for 15 wavelengths from 0.4 to 4.0 microns with Rayleigh and aerosol parameters arrayed at kilometer intervals to an altitude of 30 kilometers. Horizontal, vertical, and slantpath transmission from sea level, transmission between two altitudes, and transmission to space are readily determined from the tabulations. (Author)
