Title: Atmospheric Transmission Measurements at White Sands Missile Range, August 1978.
Abstract: Abstract : High-resolution atmospheric transmission measurements have been made at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Wavelengths measured include 0.63 micron, 1.06 micron, 3-5 micron, and 8-14 micron. Meteorological variables including air temperature, dewpoint, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and the atmospheric temperature structure parameter CT were monitored during transmission measurements, at the endpoints of the propagation path. Stronger continuum absorptions at DF laser frequencies than expected and limiting effects of high winds and atmospheric turbulence were observed. (Author)
