Title: Larry Bernstein: Innovator in Atmospheric Propagation Modeling
Introduction
Larry Bernstein is a notable inventor based in Lexington, MA (US). He is recognized for his contributions to atmospheric science, particularly through his innovative patent related to atmospheric modeling.
Latest Patents
Larry Bernstein holds a patent for a "System for modelling moderate resolution atmospheric propagation." This invention, known as MODTRAN, is a moderate resolution model and computer code used to predict atmospheric transmittance and background radiance across various spectral regions, including microwave, infrared, visible, and near ultraviolet. The MODTRAN code enhances the spectral resolution of its predecessor, LOWTRAN 7, improving it from 20 to 2 cm-1 full width/half maximum (fwhm). It also retains all capabilities of LOWTRAN 7, including built-in model atmospheres, aerosol models, and options for calculating solar and lunar radiance.
