Experiments for Determining the Effects of the Atmosphere on Long Range Oblique Photography

摘要

The object of Phase I of the project was to design experiments and appropriate instrumentation for investigating the effects of the atmosphere on reconnaissance photography. These experiments are described in detail in the report along with bhe basic theory underlying them. The instrumentation is also fully described with drawings and schematic diagrams where available. Experimental sites were investigated and information concerning them is contained herein. The complete program for the performance of the experiments and the manner in which the experimental results will be used to formulate a workable theory of long range oblique photography is outlined.
