A User's Guide to the AFGL/Visidyne High Altitude Infrared Radiance Model Computer Program.

Abstract

The Air Force and other Department of Defense agencies have for many years supported the development and improvement of infrared radiance and transmission models of the atmosphere. These models are designed to simulate the radiative properties of the atmosphere to provide predictions for Air Force and other Department of Defense system design and surveillance programs. Comparison with available experimental measurements provides greater understanding of the atmosphere and serves to check the adequacy of the models. This report describes the input data and control statements required to run the AFGL/Visidyne High Altitude Infrared Radiance Model, which computes infrared radiances for an earth's limb viewing geometry. Several sets of model atmosphere data, based on the U.S. Standard Atmosphere Supplement, 1966, have been added to the data set. Recent additions to the model are described briefly. Keywords: Tables(data); Computer programs; Ozone radiance; Methane; Carbon dioxide; Water vapor; Nitrous oxide; Nitric oxide.
