Studies on the Development of Algorithms for the Prediction of Time-Dependent Optical Properties of Aerosols.
Abstract
Most of the work done under the contract has been directed toward searches for ways in which existing aerosol IR transmittance modeling codes could be made computationally more efficient in order to enhance their utility in applications involving time dependent variations in aerosol properties. In the course of those studies, NMSU personnel have examined both rigorous and approximate methods for calculating both single and multiple scattering extinction and scattering effects, and have devised a new version of the NMSU/ASL code AGAUS which permits the user to trade-off overall accuracy for significantly faster program execution. The latter code has also been modified in such a way that it can be easily used for generating data which can be used directly by the Smoke Obscuration Model. A serious effort has also been made to generate improved documentation for program AGAUS. The new documentation will probably also enhance the general utility of the code.
