ATMOSPHERIC TRANSMISSION

Abstract

Values of the water vapor error function absorption coefficients are given for infrared radiation in the wavelength region from 1.4 microns to 5.9 microns. These values correct the data of L. Larmore IRIS Proceedings, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 14, so as to agree with the implications of certain subsequent experimental data. The resultant actual transmission values were recalculated for these revised coefficients for various amounts of precipitable water vapor and are given as a function of wavelength in the 1.4 to 5.9 micron region in 0.1 micron intervals.
