Atmospheric Transmittance Study with the Meteorological Satellite Technical Area at White Sands Missile Range. Part II. Studies Related to the Inversion of the Radiative Transfer Equation and High Resolution Transmittance Calculations.

Abstract

This report concerns a method for combining SMS cloud data into VTPR retrievals; the expected differences between radiosonde and VTPR temperature profiles; CO2 atmospheric composition inferred from radiance data and homogeneous and slant path line-by-line transmittance studies.
