Atmospheric Transmittance/Radiance Computer Code FASCOD2

Abstract

The fast line-by-line transmittance and radiance code FASCOD1 has been changed to include the AFGL geometry routine ATMPTH and the aerosol models of the lower resolution code LOWTRAN 5. The code utilizes an optical path subject to continuous refraction and accounts for losses due to molecular and aerosol absorption and scattering. The problem of non-LTE radiance and transmission has been studied and code changes proposed. Absorption from the sub-Lorentzian CO2 far line wings is also discussed.
