Airborne Measurements of Atmospheric Volume Scattering Coefficients in Northern Europe, Summer, 1977.
Abstract
This report presents daytime atmospheric optical data collected chiefly with airborne instruments during a field expedition to northern Europe in the Summer of 1977. Results from 12 flights are presented. The data include the natural irradiance upon horizontal plane surfaces, total volume scattering coefficients, and derived values of atmospheric beam transmittance and equivalent attenuation length. Data for daytime conditions ranging from relatively clear and cloud free to completely overcast are presented. Data ewere measured in four spectral regions, as follows: Three narrow band optical filters with mean wavelengths of 478, 664, and 765 nanometer; and one broad band sensitvity representing a pseudo-photopic response with a mean wavelength of 557 nanometers. Selected meteoroligical properties, measured concurrently with the radiometric data are also included. (Author)
