[Phys-l] atmospheric transmission

[kyle forinash <kforinas@ius.edu>]

hi

I want to make my own graphs of atmospheric transmission similar to 
http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:Atmospheric_Transmission_png

I have found data out to 4 micrometers 
(http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/spectra/am1.5/ASTMG173/ASTMG173.html) but 
not any numbers for higher wavelengths out to 30 or 40 micron (the full 
earth's blackbody range).

The Gats, Inc SpectralCalc.com web page 
(http://www.spectralcalc.com/calc/spectralcalc.php) purports to have the 
capability to calculate transmission spectra (for a fee) but without 
paying for it I can't tell if it will actually give me what I need.

Several sources quote Houghton's Physics of Atmospheres and he does have 
this graph but there is only partial data in his tables.

Does anyone have any idea where the raw data for these graphs can be found?
