TRANSMISSOMETER AND ATMOSPHERICTRANSMISSION STUDIES.

Abstract

A transmissometer capable of measuring the spectral transmission of the atmosphere in the 0.5-15-micron region is described in this final report. The major components, which include two interferometer spectrometers, a visual photometer, and two 60-inch searchlights, are described in detail. The operation of the system is discussed first component by component, and then as a complete unit. A data-reduction system is described, and also a technique for using the transmissometer data to correct missile-radiation measurements. Engineering drawings, D measurements and design calculations are presented. (Author)
