About this technology
Overview
A model which simulates the sensitivity of satellite-measured solar radiation to changes in relative humidity was developed by AER under contract to the Office of Naval Research. AER uses the model to support meteorological analysis and evaluate the use of satellites in relation to marine aerosols/optical instrument reduction. During the project, AER utilized RADTMO, a COSMIC set of programs which computes scattered atmospheric radiation caused by aerosols.
