SHARC-3 Calculations of Atmospheric IR Radiance in the Solar Terminator Region
Abstract
The Air Force SHARC-3 Atmospheric IR radiance code has been used to simulate CO2, O3, and OH limb radiances observed in the solar terminator region during the 1977 SPIRE and 1991 CIRRIS-1A experiments. These calculations represent the first direct comparisons with field data using the new multiple- profiles and multiple-atmospheres features in SHARC-3. The good agreement between the SHARC-3 predictions and the data provide substantial validation of the kinetic and radiation transport models in SHARC as well as the 03 and H atom profiles from the SHARC Atmosphere Generator.
