Aerosols, Lidar and IR Imaging During Duck and RED

Abstract

The long-term goals of the research are to understand and assess the effects of the atmosphere on the detection of targets at low altitudes over sea in coastal regions using IR and radar systems. Effects considered are transmission losses due to aerosols and water vapor, effects of turbulent fluctuations of the air temperature on blurring and scintillation, and effects of vertical temperature and water vapor gradients on IR and rf refractivity.
