Vertical Molecular Absorption Coefficient Profiles and Associated Meteorological Data at the High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility for 20 August 1991

Abstract

In support of White Sands Missile Range high energy laser operations for 20 August 1991, the U.S. Army Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory was tasked to calculate simulated molecular absorption coefficient vertical profiles by using the U.S. Air Force Phillips Laboratory Geophysics Directorate (formerly the U.S. Air Force Geophysics Laboratory) transmittance and radiance program FASCOD2. Absorption coefficient, optical depth, ground-to-space transmittance, molecular spectroscopy.
