Preliminary High Spectral-Resolution PFNDAT

Abstract

The High Resolution Phase Function Database (HRPFNDAT) is a component of the Weather and Atmospheric Visualization Effects for Simulation (WAVES) suite. It is also usable with models such as the Electro-Optical Systems Atmospheric Effects Library (EOSAEL) and MODTRAN. The interim version of HRPFNDAT consists of a series of phase functions and extinction and scattering coefficient data for the rural, urban, and maritime haze models, water fog models, and fog oil smoke model for the wavelength region 0.35-40.0 micrometer at 1 cm(-1) resolution. The resolution of HRPFNDAT is comparable to the -1 cm(-1) resolution available from MODTRAN.
