Spectral Meteorological/Irradiance API

• Modtran/Radtran layered or custom 3D model atmosphere (pressure, temperature, molecular density profiles)

• Standard/custom weather (cloud / rain / ice profiles, wind speed, haze)

• Location (latitude, longitude)

• Time

• Sensor passbands

• Ephemeris

• I Surface Irradiances W/cm2(solar, lunar, sky, man-made sources, atmospheric thermal emission)

• g Extinction Coefficients (m-1)

• z Path Radiance W/cm2-sr - m3

• h Precip Backscatter (db/m2-m3)

• Legendre scattering coefficients

• RF extinction coefficients

• RF atmospheric noise radiance
