Abstract:

This handbook presents material on electromagnetic wave transmission in the earth's atmosphere with emphasis on earth-to-space paths up to January 1970. This type of information is needed in such varied fields as air pollution, astronomy, communications, earth resources, geodesy, meteorology, and navigation. Part I presents basic background information dealing with transmission fundamentals, the properties of electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the earth's atmosphere. Part II is a guide to information on the transmission properties of the earth's atmosphere to electromagnetic radiation. A major feature of Part II is the listing of tables of contents of several books and major articles on atmospheric transmission. Part III contains selected transmission information on the following observable quantities: refraction, absorption, and scattering. Part IV is a bibliography to be published in a separate volume entitled Atmospheric Transmission Bibliography 1960-1969: A KWIC Index of Electromagnetic Wave Transmission in the Earth's Atmosphere over the Frequency (Wavelength) Range 3 kHz (100 km) - 3,000 THz (0.l µm). The bibliography covers the frequency regions: radio, microwave, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet. There is a listing of citations by local accession number, a key-word-in-context (KWIC) index of permuted title index, and an author index.
