The Climatology Module CLIMAT

Abstract

The climatology module CLIMAT provides climatology data both in a stand alone mode and as input to other modules of the Electro Optical Systems Atmospheric Effects Library (EOSAEL). The climatology data include averages and standard deviations or percentages of occurrence of 11 meteorological surface parameters (temperature, dew point temperature, absolute humidity, relative humidity, horizontal visibility, sea level pressure, wind speed, wind direction, cloudbase height, cloud cover, and Pasquill stability category) in each of 22 weather classes defined by obscuration type (such as rain, snow, and fog), visibility, absolute humidity, and cloud ceiling.
