Book Description
This report investigates the applicability of the standard LOWTRAN atmospheric models to four typical Australian environments and considers the effects to these environments upon the transmission of 3 to 5 um radiation. It is found that the LOWTRAN model atmospheres can be useful in Australian conditions, and advice is given as to the most appropriate models to use depending upon the path and environment conditions. The extent to which model data is used rather than real data will affect the transmittance predictions; the magnitude of this effect is given, indicating that there is particular value in measuring water vapour content (shown to be the most significant meteorological parameter) in the lowest few kilometers through which the path passes. Transmittance as a function of range (and vice versa) is considered for all slant path angles from vertical to horizontal. Graphical results are presented in full as a resource to be consulted given a particular site ad path transmittance prediction requirement. Keywords: Infrared radiation; Atmospheric models; Slant paths; Australia. (JHD).

Infrared Radiation in a Real Tropical Atmosphere
Author: Lee A. Young

Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Transmission of infrared radiation in the 8-13 and 16.5-21 micrometers spectral regions from 3 km altitude through the atmosphere to outer space has been evaluated. Analysis of tropical radiosonde atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity shows that fluctuations in the total amount of water vapor above 3 km cause the transmission to vary by amounts from 10% to two orders of magnitude. Fluctuations in the effective temperature or pressure for absorption are shown to be small. The Curtis-Godson approximation is analyzed in detail for this problem. Also, effective parameters describing an atmospheric slant path are formulated for absorption by the water vapor continuum. The total amount of water vapor above 3 km varies chiefly as the trade wind inversion rises above or falls below that altitude; it correlates poorly with the absolute humidity at 3 km. The atmospheric transmission can be obtained in real time from measurements of atmospheric emission. Fluctuations in the effective emission temperature, calculated from radiosonde data, are relatively small. However, further study of the effect of cirrus clouds on the transmission-emission relationship would be desirable. (Author).
