User's Manual for SAG-2 SHARC/SAMM Atmosphere Generator
Abstract
The SHARC Atmosphere Generator (SAG) is a stand-alone, interactive program that utilizes a combination of empirical models to generate atmospheric profiles for Air Force IR radiation codes that account for systematic variability of the atmosphere, including solar terminator effects. Using information on the day of the year, local time, solar and geomagnetic activity indices, etc., SAG reasonably models the variabilities in temperature and CO2, O3, OH, NO3, H2O and O densities. For other species, diurnally averaged profiles are derived from recent climatology databases or other standard tabulations. The SAG output files support SHARC, SAMM, and MODTRAN.
