Summary
- Ciddor-Mendes refraction formula: Awaiting reviewed publication
- Assessment of group velocity concept (P.Ciddor)
- first order
approximation in absorption, second order in dispersion
- worst
case assupmtions for laser spectral width, slope of absorption
- currently
under revision by Y.Galkin
- Preliminary result for wavelengths far
from absorption lines:
- Group velocity concept is applicable for fourier
limited pulsewidths >10ps and propagation distances <40km
- Crosscheck
of Ciddor-Mendes refraction formula with distinct approaches
- Assessment
of horizontal refractivity gradient effects(R.Haas)
- Improved modeling
capabilities at low elevation angles require assessment of laser
wavelength parameter accuracy.
