Models of Weather Environments Adverse to Electro-Optical Systems.
Abstract
Weather models are developed to depict hour by hour variations of scattering media--the atmosphere--important to Army electro-optical system performance. Dynamic models are presented for specifying particle size distributions in horizontal and vertical directions for haze, fog, cloud, and rain conditions given only routinely available meteorological data. Case studies show that these models perform well individually and when used together. This effort should be viewed as the first step in developing dynamic models that are responsive to observed and forecast weather changes. The models needed to be applied, tested, modified, and improved. (Author)
