Abstract

This paper presents the principles of new methods and programs for calculating the transmittance of the atmosphere in the 0.2-2.5-µm region. These methods are based on direct line-by-line computations and their description, using the effective amounts of the absorbing gases (the spectral transmittance) and taking into account the effective parameters of the optoelectronic systems (the overall transmittance).
