Abstract

Simulations have been made of atmospheric-transmittance spectra over a 5.1-km sea-level path measured by the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. New CO₂ line-profile form factors were used that had been obtained previously from experiment. The simulations were found to agree well with the field spectra, supporting the validity of the CO₂ line profiles used.
