Calculation of Radiation Signal of Rocket Plume after Atmospheric Attenuation Using Wide Band K-Distribution Model

Abstract

The calculation of the gas radiation process plays an important role in the study of atmospheric remote sensing and climatic effects of greenhouse gas. The remote sensing of rocket plume has important significance for early warning, interception, detection, identification and tracking of flight vehicle. A model was established to calculate the remote sensing signal of rocket plume by wide band k-distribution, the liquid rocket plume remote sensing signals in atmospheric window region and the detectors’ working spectrum are calculated, and the results were compared with the results calculated by line-by-line approach. The results showed that in some of the detectors’ working spectral regions, the wide band k-distribution model can be used for the calculation of the remote sensing of liquid rocket engine exhaust plume.
