Abstract:
Atmospheric Handbook Data Tables is historical digital data set DSI-9796, archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This data set consists of one combined file containing 226 data files. The files contains information, programs, and data largely taken from results published in scientific journals. In general, sections of files are grouped according to the atmospheric area. Atmospheric
... data tables in this data set are described in World Data Center A for Meteorology and World Data Center A for Solar Terrestrial Physics Report UAG-89. This report will be furnished with all orders for this file. Data areas cover attenuation coefficients for the atmosphere and H2O; 1962 standard atmospheres; cloud drop size distributions for water and ice spheres; solar spectral irradiance (nimbus and SMM satellite solar irradiance data); sky spectral radiance; Rayleigh coefficients for air; refractive indices for air, ice, liquid H2O, and various atmospheric aerosols; and relative reflectance for ice and H2O.
