Optimization of Atmospheric Radiance Algorithms for Remote Sensing: Improvements in Minor Species Photochemical Code and Its Impact on IR Radiances

Abstract

The tasks of this work consisted of: (a) Upgrading the PL/GP diurnal photochemical code to include the Schumann-Runge continuum to produce the O(1D), and examine the role O(1D) plays in the CO2 4.3 microns radiance. (b) Improving the SHARC high altitude atmospheric generator especially around the terminator to produce very good agreement with the CIRRIS-1A measurements.
