Electro-Optical Transmission and Liquid Water Content of Fogs and Clouds

Abstract

Research conducted during the term of this contract consisted of measurement of transmission and backscatter of electromagnetic (em) energy through water droplet clouds with known size distribution and liquid water content at visible and infra-red (IR) wavelengths. Theoretical analyses of relations between extinction, absorption and backscatter which incorporate size distribution dependencies were also made.
