Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This supplement provides several additions and updates to the LOWTRAN 3 computer code, which can be used to calculate the transmittance of the atmosphere from the ultraviolet to the middle infrared portion of the spectrum (0.25 to 28.5 micrometers) at a spectral resolution of 20 cm. The major additions are the inclusion of water vapor continuum attenuation in the 3.5 to 4.2 micrometers region, and a temperature dependence to the H2O continuum attenuation coefficient in both the 4 micrometers and 10 micrometers regions. The contribution of foreign gas broadening in the 8-14 micrometers region has also been reduced. Four aerosol models are included in this supplement. These include three boundary layer aerosol models for maritime, urban, and rural conditions in the lower 2 km of the atmosphere, and a tropospheric model for use mainly above 1 or 2 km altitude. The rural model is a replacement for the average continental model presently in LOWTRAN 3. A temporary provision is also given to accommodate fog conditions when the visual range falls below 2 km.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fortran computer program LOWTRAN 2 is described for calculating the transmittance of the atmosphere in the spectral region 0.25 to 28.5 micrometers at a spectral resolution of 20/cm. The program provides a choice of six atmospheric models covering seasonal and latitudinal variations from sea level to 100 km, two haze models, and accounts for molecular absoprtion, molecular scattering, and aerosol extinction. Refraction and earth curvature effects are also included. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A FORTRAN computer program, LOWTRAN 3, is described for calculating the transmittance of the atmosphere in the spectral region from 0.25 to 28.5 micrometers at a spectral resolution of 20/cm. The program provides a choice of six atmospheric models covering seasonal and latitudinal variations from sea level to 100 km, two haze models, and accounts for molecular absorption, molecular scattering, and aerosol extinction. Refraction and earth curvature effects are also included. This program provides some modifications to the molecular absorption and aerosol extinction data provided in an earlier LOWTRAN 2 report. In addition, input modifications have been made, making the LOWTRAN 3 program considerably more flexible in terms of the input of meteorological data.
Download or read book High Power Laser Propulsion written by Yuri A. Rezunkov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an in-depth analysis of the physical phenomena of thrust production by laser radiation, as well as laser propulsion engines, and laser-propelled vehicles. It brings together into a unified context accumulated up-to-date information on laser propulsion research, considering propulsion phenomena, laser propulsion techniques, design of vehicles with laser propulsion engines, and high-power laser systems to provide movement for space vehicles. In particular, the reader will find detailed coverage of: designs of laser propulsion engines, operating as both air-breathing and ramjet engines to launch vehicles into LEOs; Assembly of vehicles whereby laser power from a remote laser is collected and directed into a propulsion engine; and, the laser-adaptive systems that control a laser beam to propel vehicles into orbits by delivering laser power through the Earth's atmosphere. This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals involved in laser propulsion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of tables and charts is presented from which the atmospheric transmittance between any two points in the terrestrial atmosphere can be determined. This material is based on a set of five atmospheric models ranging from tropical to arctic and two aerosol models. A selected set of laser frequencies has been defined for which monochromatic transmittance values have been given. For low resolution transmittance prediction, a series of charts has been drawn providing the capability for predicting transmittance at a resolution of 20 wavenumbers. Separate sections are included on scattered solar radiation, infrared emission, refractive effects, and attenuation by cloud and fog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of tables and charts is presented from which the atmospheric transmittance between any two points in the terrestrial atmosphere can be determined. This material is based on a set of five atmospheric models ranging from tropical to arctic and two aerosol models. A selected set of laser frequencies has been defined for which monochromatic transmittance values have been given. For low resolution transmittance predcition, a series of charts has been drawn providing the capability for predicting transmittance at a resolution of 20 wave-numbers. Separate sections are included on scattered solar radiation, infrared emission, refractive effects, and attenuation by cloud and fog. This third edition differs from the others in that the low resolution spectral curves for the uniformly mixed gases and in the short wavelength region for water vapor have been revised, providing some overall improvement in accuracy; and more importantly, an appendix has been added providing model data and equivalent sea level path data for the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1962.
Download or read book Comparison of Atmospheric Transmittance Measurements in the 3 5 Micrometers and 8 12 Micrometers Spectral Regions With MODTRAN Consideration for Long Path Geometries written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiance measurements conducted during tropospheric operations to detect objects on the Earth's surface from a manned aircraft or from an unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) will involve long, near-horizontal viewing geometries. The computer code MODTRAN is widely used for the prediction of the propagation of infrared radiation through the lower atmosphere. This program was undertaken by the IARD to test and validate the predictions of the MODTRAN code for the 3-5 micrometer and 8-l2 micrometer spectral regions under semi-arid desert conditions with well defined meteorological parameters.

Download or read book Diagnostic Tools in Atmospheric Physics written by Giorgio Fiocco and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses a number of experimental techniques and methods for the treatment of data introduced in the last ten years or so in different fields of the atmospheric sciences. Considerable emphasis has been given since their introduction to the use of satellites or spaceborne measurements with a recent example being the important results obtained with UARS. Of particular interest are the airborne instruments developed for the stratospheric measurement campaign organized by the NASA since 1976 to study the ozone hole and followed later by similar experiments to study the high-latitude ozone depletion in the northern hemisphere. The results of these experiments have helped clarify the role of chlorine-bearing compounds in the ozone depletion and the effect of the heterogeneous processes. The book is organized in 4 chapters: the first 3 divide the different techniques according to the location of the measuring instrumentation (ground, air and space) with the 4th chapter dealing with theory and analysis.
