Abstract:

A field experiment designed to compare the measurement performance of a laser-calibrated, high-resolution spectroscopic system with that of a low-resolution transmissometerradiometer system has been carried out along a 5-km range. We compared the results of the two measurements by numerically convolving the high-resolution transmission data with the spectral-response characteristics of the transmissometer system. For the limited range of meteorological conditions under which these measurements were made, the standard deviation of the transmittances measured by these two techniques is 0.06. Author
