MODTRAN5

- The following text is adapted from MODTRAN site -

The MODTRAN® (Berk et al., 2014) (Berk et al., 2008) (MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission) computer code is used worldwide by research scientists in government agencies, commercial organizations, and educational institutions for the prediction and analysis of optical measurements through the atmosphere. MODTRAN was developed and continues to be maintained through a longstanding collaboration between Spectral Sciences, Inc. (SSI) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The code is embedded in many operational and research sensor and data processing systems, particularly those involving the removal of atmospheric effects, commonly referred to as atmospheric correction, in remotely sensed multi- and hyperspectral imaging.

The underlying physics and algorithms used in MODTRAN are well established and, with over a 30 year heritage, MODTRAN has been extensively validated, serving as the community standard atmospheric band model.

ALG toolbox supports usage of MODTRAN5 (Berk et al., 2006) and MODTRAN6 (Berk et al., 2015).
