Abstract: The Elsasser and Culbertson (1960) formulation for calculating radiative fluxes has been widely used by meteorologists. Corrections to the Elsasser and Culbertson scheme have been given by Zdunkowski et al. (1966). ...

Abstract: Calculations are presented for the reflected and transmitted intensifies and polarizations for the C wavelength pair used for Umkehr measurements. The present calculations utilize a numerical integration of the transfer ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of the nocturnal minimum temperature over dry soil under clear calm conditions to changes in the distribution of temperature and humidity aloft is estimated. To make the estimates, the minimum temperature ...

Abstract: Standard reduction techniques for the Linke turbidity factor are examined and found to yield errors of as much as 10%, resulting from a failure to recognize the importance of the wavelength sensitivities of pyrheliometers ...

Abstract: A method of fitting polynomials to the intensity distribution as a function of optical depth is described for use with the Gauss-Seidel iterative technique for solving the equation of radiative transfer. This technique ...

Abstract: The effect of vertical inhomogeneities of atmospheric attenuators upon determinations of air mass and upon Langley plot determinations of the extra-atmospheric solar irradiance is examined and found to be significant, ...

Abstract: A method of determining precipitable water to within 10% from solar radiometer data has been developed. The method uses a modified Langley technique to obtain the water vapor optical depth, and a model developed at the ...
