Effects of the earth’s atmosphere on a spaceborne IR Doppler wind-sensing system

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have produced temporally varying global model profiles of molecular absorption, aerosol backscatter, refractive turbulence, and cloudiness for IR wavelengths. These models are used in a numerical simulation of a coherent Doppler lidar operating at 300-km (Shuttle) and 800-km (operational) altitudes to investigate the atmospheric effects on such systems.
