Atmospheric ultraviolet radiance integrated code (AURIC): theory, software architecture, inputs, and selected results.
Abstract
The atmospheric ultraviolet radiance integrated code (AURIC) is a software package developed under the sponsorship of the Air Force Phillips Laboratory / Geophysics Directorate (PL/GP) for upper atmospheric radiance modeling from the far ultraviolet to the near infrared. It effectively extends the PL/GP code MODTRAN for calculating atmospheric transmittance and radiance (IR and Rayleigh + aerosol scattering of sunlight) to altitudes above 100 km and wavelengths down to 1050 Å. The science content of the airglow and upper atmospheric composition codes is presented in this paper.
