Operational Tactical Decision Aid (OTDA) for Infrared (8-12 Micrometers) Systems - Mark II Manual Version. Volume 3. Appendix B. Insolation and Sky Radiation Tables.

Abstract

Tables are presented for use in determining solar irradiance and sky radiation values needed to calculate maximum lock-on range (MLOR) and maximum acquisition range (AR) from the Manual Version of the IR OTDA. A table for use in determining solar irradiance as a function of terrain elevation is also presented. Errors in computed sea level values of sky radiation as a function of terrain elevation are discussed and found to be small. (Author)
