Research in the Area of Atmospheric Modeling: High-Resolution Atmospheric IR Transmittance Prediction (Part II).
Abstract
The primary technological concern of the Target Signature Analysis (TSA) program is to locate, identify, and destroy stationary or moving ground targets through their infrared emission or reflective characteristics when viewed through low visibility atmospheric conditions. (The spectral band of interest is from 0.4 to 14 micrometers). The responsibility of the Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL) scientific group rests in the theoretical and empirical development of computerized models for the prediction of the attenuative effects of atmospheric scattering and absorption. The New Mexico State University (NMSU) scientific group is currently assisting this program with the investigation and testing of a computerized scattering model for predicting the attenuation of laser energy transmitted through atmospheric paths. In addition, they have previously assisted in reviewing and developing techniques for high resolution infrared transmittance in homogeneous atmospheres.
