Operational Tactical Decision Aid (OTDA) for Infrared (8-12 micrometers) Systems--MARK II Manual Version. Volume 2.

Abstract

The tables required to calculate 8-12 micron atmospheric transmission at 4 km range for use in determining maximum lock-on range and maximum acquisition range from the Manual Version of the infrared OTDA are presented. Tables adapted from AFGL models for calculating molecular, aerosol, and precipitation extinction coefficients as functions of various meteorological parameters are presented. An aerosol model selection procedure is provided as well as a table which converts total extinction coefficient to atmospheric transmission. (Author)
