Moderate Spectral Atmospheric Radiance and Transmittance (MOSART)

MOSART is a code for predicting the radiative environment (UV, visible, IR, mm-wave) globally. The atmosphere characterization uses a combination of model atmospheres, user input, and global climatology data bases. The terrain characterization uses two 10-minute resolution data bases to obtain altitude and ecosystem type. Radiative transfer is performed at 1 cm(-1) (or greater) spectral resolution. The current version number is 1.40, and is written in ANSI X3.9-1978 FORTRAN for portability.
