RESEARCH ON ATMOSPHERIC OPTICAL RADIATION TRANSMISSION

Abstract

Contents: Measurements of the spectral distribution of the sky radiation and of the radiation reflected by the ground as well as their degrees of polarization at Alamogordo, N.M., USA; Experimental and theoretical investigations into the spectral and angular dependence of reflectivity and the degree of polarization of reflected radiation of various soil types; The influence of the shape of the aerosol particles on their collection in a jet impactor; Contribution to the polarization of the sky radiation; A portable scattering function meter; The influence of second order scattering on the sky radiation and on the radiation emerging from the earth's atmosphere under the assumption of a turbid atmosphere.
