PcLnWin Overview
PcLnWin© is a commercial Windows version of the Air Force Phillips Laboratory's
FASCOD3P model. FASCOD3P is the recognized world-standard software for predicting
atmospheric transmittance and radiance at high (line-by-line) spectral resolution.
PcLnWin wraps around FASCOD3P and makes it easy to use. PcLnWin has been developed
with full WINDOWS capabilities and is a necessity in calculating laser
propagation through the atmosphere.
The basic atmospheric calculations in PcLnWin utilize the FASCODE model.
FASCODE performs accurate and speedy calculations from the ultraviolet through
the visible, infrared & microwave spectrum (0-50000cm-1). The model accommodates
standardized (WMO) atmospheric profiles, numerous aerosol models (including Fogs,
Desert Dust and Maritime obscurations), water and ice cloud models (with
precipitation). Spherical refractive geometry calculations are performed for
any arbitrary line of sight chosen. PcLnWin performs line by line calculations
using spectroscopic parameters obtained from the HITRAN database (the recognized
standard compilation for atmospheric gases).
A quick and easy user friendly input generation system has been developed for the
FASCODE model. A significant improvement of PcLnWin over any other software
package in this field, is an encyclopedic on line Help, available for any input
or output variable with a simple click of the mouse. The output data files and
graphical displays are fully PC and Windows compatible, thus relieving the
customer of any concerns over losing or misplacing a valuable data file or plot.
PcLnWin contains executable software for quick and easy input generation, and
complete online documentation/help with high resolution graphical output. The
ease and familiarity offered by this product allows the user to modify or
replace any of the built in profiles or models, with specific measurements or
user models, applicable to their utilization. The PcLnWin software package is the
only commercially available software capable of performing these intricate
calculations.
