Measurements of the Infrared Optical Characteristics of Fog.

Abstract

The current contract is directed to the achievement of fog generation on a laboratory scale. The objective is the production and measurement of fog which has a realistic droplet size distribution and which is of sufficient density to provide an optical depth at 3.8 micrometers of at least 10 cm. Steady state operation will be achieved in a continuously flowing system with a spatially uniform experimental volume of one cubic meter. Droplet density, size distribution, and degree of spatial uniformity will be measured with an aerosol spectrometer.
