Description
1 microfiche (14 pages) : negative, illustrations; 11 x 15 cm.
Summary
"The Cloud Field Optical Simulator project includes work in the following areas (1) improvement in the shape of the desired (visible) spectral response of the measurement, (2) selection of two usable materials for cloud simulation, (3) a means of assigning a visible optical depth to the simulated clouds, and (4) confirmation that the apparatus is capable of detecting basic finite cloud characteristics. A brief description of the accomplishments in each of these areas is presented."
