Calculational Methods for Predicting Thermal Radiation Signals at Satellites.
Abstract
This report describes the calculational methods developed to predict thermal radiation signals at satellite-borne detector systems resulting from radiation emitted by point isotropic thermal radiation sources positioned within the atmosphere. The time-dependent atmospheric transport data currently available from POLO Monte Carlo calculations are described and the methods available for convoluting the time dependent atmospheric transport data with the wavelength and time-dependent emission from thermal radiation sources are outlined.
