OSTI ID:10177352
A prototype infrared radiative transfer model using. a correlated k-distribution technique to calculate the transmission between atmospheric levels has been used to calculate the radiative fluxes and heating rates for CO{sub 2} and O{sub 3} in the atmosphere between 0 and 60 km. For CO{sub 2} the 15, 10, and 4.3 micron bands are included and for O{sub 3} the 9.6 and 14 micron bands are included. The major heating/cooling effects are due to the 15 micron band of CO{sub 2} and the 9.6 micron band of O{sub 3}. The computational efficiency of the k-distribution technique allows 50 cm{sup {minus}1} wave number bins to produce fluxes and heating rates which are within ten percent of the results of detailed line by line calculations.
