Travel To Extraterrestrial Bodies Over Time: Some Exploratory Analyses Of Mission Data, Venkat Kodali, Rohith Kumar Reddy Duggirala, Richard S. Segall, Hyacinthe Aboudja, Daniel Berleant

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

This paper discusses data pertaining to space missions to astronomical bodies beyond earth. The analyses provide summarizing facts and graphs obtained by mining data about (1) missions launched by all countries that go to the moon and planets, and (2) Earth satellites obtained from a Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) dataset and lists of publically available satellite data.


Retrieval Of Atmospheric Turbidity Coefficiant And Water Column Density Fro Solar Irradiance Data, Felix Tendeku Jan 1995

Retrieval Of Atmospheric Turbidity Coefficiant And Water Column Density Fro Solar Irradiance Data, Felix Tendeku

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Ground-based measurement of solar irradiance has been made using a spectroradiometer at wavelengths inapx-water absorption band. An algorithm is formulated to retrieve simultaneously the atmospheic water column density and Angstrom's turbidity coefficient. The transmission models used to account for the contribution from diverse atmospheic absorbing and scattering elements are presented.


Method For Determining Atmospheric Aerosol Optical Depth Using Solar Transmission Measurements, Felix Tendeku Jan 1994

Method For Determining Atmospheric Aerosol Optical Depth Using Solar Transmission Measurements, Felix Tendeku

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

A multiple wavelength radiometer instrumentation has been developed and used to measure solar irradiance in a water vapor absorption band in the near-infrared region. From these measurements the total atmospheric optical depth at each wavelength of observation is deduced using a linear least-squares fitting method. An iteration technique, based on a power law wavelength dependence of aerosol optical depth, is employed to retrieve aerosol optical depth from the total optical depth data. The technique permits simultaneous determination of precipitable water vapor amount.
