| This report presents atmospheric optical data collected at night in Thailand chiefly with airborne instruments during two field expeditions, one trip made during the wet monsoon season and one during the dry season. Results from eighteen flights are presented. The data include irradiance, directional reflectance of backgrounds, total scattering coefficients, atmospheric beam transmittance, path radiance, and directional path reflectance. Data for starlight, moonlight, and overcast conditions were derived for downward-looking ... |
