ATMOSPHERIC TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT FOR CLEAR AIR AND FOG IN THE SPECTRAL REGION 0.35 TO 1.10 MICRONS

Abstract

Methods are described for estimating the transmission of light by a clear atmosphere for humidities ranging from 0.1 X 10 to the mimus 6 power to 100 X 10 g/cubic amt. and temperatures between -40 C and +60 C for path lengths between 1000 and 5000 meters. Also, transmissions are given for varying amounts of fog for path lengths up to 200 meters. The paths used are horizontal and near sea level and wavelength intervals of 0.05 micorn are used between wavelengths of 0.35 and 1.10 microns.
