Atmospheric Handbook: Atmospheric Data Tables Available on Computer Tape

摘要

Topics discussed include the following: Data descriptions--(Attenuation coefficients, standard atmospheres, cloud drop size distributions - water and ice particles, solar spectral irradiance, sky spectral radiance, rayleigh coefficients - air, refractive indices, relative reflectance - ice, water); Data file and computer tape information--(Guide, data file formats). In addition, the following appendices are given: Appendix A: List of files on atmospheric handbook computer tape, listed by file number (LISTFILE0, tape files 0 and 8); Appendix B: Computer tape file descriptions (FILEXDESCRIP, 9); Appendix C: Fortran code for program ATTENCOEF (and related subroutines): atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients (APPENDIXC, 218); Appendix D: Fortran code for program MICRO (and related subroutines): select ice and water refractive indices in the microwave region (APPENDIXD, 219); Appendix E: List of useful atmospheric constants and conversion (FACTS, 220).
