Advanced Software Products for Atmospheric Remote Sensing

摘要

Ontar Corporation is a research and development company specializing in the development of products for atmospheric remote sensing. Over the past two decades, Ontar has been the leading supplier of software for meteorological applications in remote sensing, radiative transport and atmospheric propagation Ontar's complete line of software for modeling of varying weather conditions includes the Windows-based PcModWin, PcLnWin, HitranPC, E-Trans, NVTerm, IICCD, IIMRC and SSCAM software, as well as JavaHAWKS, a HITRAN database manipulator. This paper will describe both the updates to the existing products and the new products recently released to the user community. Ontar has been continuing its efforts to enhance its product capabilities in atmospheric modeling. One recent enhancement includes the incorporation of new models into and the addition of new functionalities to the existing software such as PcModWin, PcLnWin and LidarPC. This paper will discuss these new added models and functionalities in detail. It will also demonstrate how this enhancement improves the atmospheric modeling in remote sensing applications.
