Effects on Infrared Transmission,

Abstract

This report presents the results of an analysis of the transmissivity in the 2.95 micrometer band through the stratosphere and upper troposphere. Comparisons are made between transmissivity calculations from the observed water-vapor profiles and the profiles constructed from three models. These comparisons showed the new model yielded a significant reduction in error in the transmissivity for a slant path from the -40 C temperature level out to space (100 km altitude) from that produced by two old models.
