Sky Radiance Calculations in the 0.5 micrometer - 5.0 micrometer Wavelength Range.

Abstract

The FLASH Monte Carlo code was modified in order to allow for the atmospheric emission and for the emission by the surface of the earth. The modification includes the consideration of the newest absorption data available. The FLASH program was then used for calculations of the radiances obtained for air-borne detectors at 120, 200, and 35,800 km altitudes.
