 | The meteorological needs of the military include but go well beyond the civilian scope because of a requirement to operate globally - anywhere and anytime - and over very specific sites, often in poor visibility conditions. To complicate matters, areas of interest to the military are often access-denied, thus emphasizing remote sensing (satellite-, aircraft-, and ground-based). The Air Force, by the very nature of its mission, needs to know weather ... |

 | Defense Meteorological Satellite measurements of the upwelling radiation in the sounder channels of the 15 micrometer CO2 band have been compared with calculations for a number of clear atmosphere conditions. Great care was used to ensure that complete radiosonde and rocketsonde data coincident in space and time were available. The methods of transmittance and radiance calculations are described and the results compared directly with the satellite measurements. The results indicate ... |

| High resolution atmospheric transmittance curves are presented for the spectral region 320 to 13,200/cm (0.7576 to 31.25 micrometers). These spectra are useful as a guide for selecting laser wavelengths for atmospheric propagation studies in this spectral region. In addition, this report provides attenuation coefficients for those lines of the CO, HF, DF, and CO2 laser systems which suffer the least atmospheric attenuation. A new aerosol model is introduced here, taking ... |
