FASCODE Computer Program Predictions of Typical NO2Stack Plume Spectral Radiative Properties as Viewed from Space,

摘要

The FASCODE computer program has been exercised to determine the spectrum of a given NO2 stack plume in the (nu1 + nu2) intercombination band at 3.4 micrometers as viewed form a space platform. The signal-to-background has been characterized both for the atmospheric radiance alone and for a black body earth as background and for the sum of both. Some comments are added concerning the reliability of the prediction and possible future work. (Author)
