This report documents a study of low altitude atmospheric radiation transmission conducted by a student-faculty team at California State University, Northridge, School of Engineering. The report was generated under a contract issued by the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base. A simple computer program, LARTAP, has been developed. The simplicity of the program makes it easy to modify to suit users requirements. Should detailed testing be required to improve program accuracy, currently available instrumentation has been evaluated. It has also been suggested that a technique involving direct measurement of radiation transmission and utilization or a numerical filtering technique may provide a more accurate model of atmospheric transmission at a test site.

Values of the water vapor error function absorption coefficients are given for infrared radiation in the wavelength region from 1.4 microns to 5.9 microns. These values correct the data of L. Larmore IRIS Proceedings, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 14, so as to agree with the implications of certain subsequent experimental data. The resultant actual transmission values were recalculated for these revised coefficients for various amounts of precipitable water vapor and are given as a function of wavelength in the 1.4 to 5.9 micron region in 0.1 micron intervals.
