The ROSCOE Manual. Volume 9. Low-Altitude Fireball Thermal and UV radiation Models

Abstract

A simple analytical model, suitable for use in systems analysis codes, is presented of the thermal radiation intensity from a nuclear burst as a function of time and yield and for an altitude range from near surface to 50 kilometers. The model divides the photon energy into six broad bands including infrared, red, green, blue, near ultraviolet and far ultraviolet.
