SUBGROUP B: CALCULATION OF THE NONEQUILIBRIUM LIMB RADIANCE ON THE BASIS OF GIVEN REFERENCE MODELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WHICH INCLUDE PRECALCULATED NONEQUILIBRIUM POPULATIONS.

This subgroup is a follower of the "Working Group on Remote Sensing: Direct Problems" of the International Radiation Commission [International Radiation Commission, Working Group on Remote Sensing: Direct Problems, Report on the ITRA (Intercomparison of Transmittance and Radiance Algorithms), CAMPAIGN AND WORKSHOP (University of Maryland, 12-14 March 1986), Eds.: A.Chedin, H.Fischer et al., May 1988]

Proposed exercises include calculation of nonequilibrium limb radiance spectra in the CO2 15 µm band and in the O3 9.6 µm band + CO2 10 µm laser band regions. The exercise is performed for medium resolution (1 cm-1) and for high resolution (0.01 cm-1) The main goals of the exercise are: For definition of the exercises see:
