Operational Simulation and Validation of Slant-Path Atmospheric Transmittance at a High-Altitude Tibetan Site Using MERRA-2
This study evaluates operational optical to near-infrared (NIR) band (400–1050 nm) atmospheric transmittance simulation at the Ali-CPT site (5250 m above sea level). Monthly mean profiles from a 20-year Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis were combined with pr...
