Optimization of Atmospheric Radiance Algorithms for Remote Sensing: MODTRAN upgrades and Applications

Abstract

This report summarizes the work performed by Spectral Sciences Inc. (SSI) during FY under the SERDP program for atmospheric radiance algorithm optimization. The task consisted of (1) adding infrared CFC cross sections and concentration profiles to MODTRAN for transmittance and radiance calculations, and (2) investigation the use of MODTRAN for radiative flux calculations, as a step towards assessing the effects of flux alterations brought about by anthropogenic changes in trace constituents.
