Aa. Mitsel et al., THE COMPUTER CODES LARA AND AIRA FOR SIMULATING THE ATMOSPHERIC TRANSMITTANCE AND RADIANCE - CURRENT STATUS, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 54(3), 1995, pp. 559-572
The two compter codes for atmospheric transmittance/radiance simulatio
ns are briefly outlined. The first package (LARA) is based on a line-b
y-line method and makes possible the calculation of the transmittance
and radiance with high spectral resolution. The second package (AIRA)
is based on an approximate method and intended for calculations of the
transmittance and radiance with low spectral resolution. The results
of simulation and comparison are presented.
