A cloud physics investigation utilizing Skylab data

The author has identified the following significant results. A number of new scattering calculations for various models were performed. An atmospheric transmittance program to calculate transmittances on a line-by-line basis was developed for the oxygen A band. A copy of the LOWTRAN 2 program was obtained and modified slightly. Thermodynamic results were obtained from snow, cirrus, and coastal stratus to indicate that 1(1.6)/1(2.125) ratio is probably not a reliable indicator of snow, ice particles, or water droplets.
