On the efficient treatment of temperature profiles for the estimation of atmospheric transmittance under scattering conditions

The vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere has an influence on the width and intensity of gaseous absorption lines. In the visible and near infrared part of the spectrum, this poses a problem for the fast forward simulation of the radiative transfer, needed in algorithms for the retrieval of...
