AN ATLAS OF THE ABSORPTION OF THE ATMOSPHERE FROM 8512 TO 11, 600A.

Abstract

This report presents an atlas of the atmospheric spectral absorption structure of a 10.1-mile sea level path when the atmosphere contained 4.5 cm of precipitable water and when the atmosphere contained 12 cm of precipitatable water. A neodymium glass laser spectrum is also included and shown to emit in a spectral region which is particularly free of atmospheric absorption. (Author)
