Application of Radiative Transfer Techniques to Background Clutter Mitigation

Abstract

Radiative-transfer techniques have been applied to several problems of interest to the defense and remote-sensing communities. We looked at MWIR radiance in the presence of gravity waves. We simulated radiance structures that had been seen by the MSX satellite, and estimated the expected non-LTE contribution. We also report on our first look at some of the SABER data from the TIMED satellite.
