Multiple Scattering Effects on Transmission through the Atmosphere.

Abstract

This annual report gives a summary of the work completed and underway on the contract covering the period form September 1, 1982 to March 31, 1983. The work is directed to the investigation of the transmission characteristics of optical waves with wavelengths in the range of 1-15 micrometers through various atmospheric conditions including clouds, fog, turbulence, rain, hail, snow, and inhomogeneous layers. Progress was made on the thorough understanding of polarized wavetransmission characteristics through fog. (Author)
