Topics addressed include modeling aerosol extinction in a coastal environment, a specific marine boundary layer aerosol model, light scattering of fractal aerosol aggregates using a T-matrix method, a lidar inversion technique using total attenuation and the lidar system constant, a comparison of two retrieval methods for ground reflectance, a two-wavelength lidar inversion technique, and conceptual design of a spaceborne radar for rain and cloud sensing. Also discussed are an energy balance model for imagery and electromagnetic propagation, short-exposure imaging of nonisoplanatic objects through turbulence, atmospheric modeling with an intent of training a neural net wavefront sensor, effect of random layers on atmospheric propagation, atmospheric effects on laser radar performance at 2 microns, the adjacency-blurring effect of scenes modeled by the radiosity method, atmospheric transmittance measurements of CO2 and near-IR laser radiation over 8.6 km, and a comparison of turbulence modulation transfer function (MTF) and aerosol MTF.
