Database application system to select and manipulate height distributions of optical parameters of aerosols

The database application system is developed to improve the selection of aerosol parameters for radiation transport calculations. The user has to choose location and time for his simulation calculations. The system presents proposals for the height dependence of optical properties of aerosols as graphics. Depending on the user requirements ofthe simulation calculations the user may manipulate the data content (e. g. variation of the mixing ratio, number of aerosol components, humidity, height distribution, wavelength range). As one option the output of the database system can be immediately used for MODTRAN calculations.
