Users Guide for SENTRAN7, Version 2.0

Abstract

SENTRAN7 is a user friendly interface system to LOWTRAN7 and MODTRAN. The code permits users to rapidly evaluate atmospheric conditions and path geometries. The main features of SENTRAN7 include: (1) interactive entry of LOWTRAN7/MODTRAN input parameters and directives for their perturbation, (2) intelligent generation of LOWTRAN7/MODTRAN input deck images, (3) autonomous post-processing of LOWTRAN7/MODTRAN outputs for data extraction, analysis and 3D graphical display, and (4) a help utility. The thrust of the current effort is to incorporate new features and enhancements into SENTRAN7. The new code is called SENTRAN7, Version 2.0. The new features include: (1) the capability to impose random and percent perturbations by layer on user-defined profiles of atmospheric constituents, (2) a comprehensive error checking package that checks user-defined profiles of atmospheric constituents, (3) an option to save LOWTRAN/MODTRAN output as customized file names, and (4) a general purpose module that permits users to view the contents of files of their choosing.
