    Area of Science:

    • Atmospheric optics
    • Remote sensing
    • Optical engineering

    Background:

    • Earth observation (EO) systems are affected by atmospheric conditions.
    • Understanding the combined impact of atmospheric molecules, turbulence, and aerosols is crucial for EO system performance analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the total atmospheric mutual coherence function (TAMCF) as a novel tool.
    • To analyze the performance dependence of various EO systems on atmospheric effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Derivation of analytic expressions for the TAMCF.
    • Inclusion of standard atmospheric parameters like absorption and scattering coefficients, and refractive index structure parameter (Cn2).

    Main Results:

    • The TAMCF provides a unified approach to assess atmospheric influences.
    • Analytic expressions were successfully derived and applied to analyze specific EO systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The TAMCF is an effective tool for evaluating the performance of EO systems.
    • This function facilitates a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric effects on optical measurements.
