The Aerosol Particle Size Distributions in the Opaque Data Package and the Comparison Between the Calculated and Measured Transmittances (Visual and Infrared)

摘要

Results of the analysis of the aerosol data in the OPAQUE data package are presented. The aerosol data are checked, recalibrated, and examined for special features. Visible and IR transmittances are calculated, using both the standard models in the LOWTRAN 5 computer program and a modified program which uses measured particle size distributions. The calculated results are compared with the measured values.
