Abstrakt: This paper reviews the capabilities of SAMM2, a high-fidelity background radiance code. SAMM2 incorporates atmospheric climate and chemistry, line-of-sight geometry, spectroscopy and radiation transport into a unified and extensible code. It is capable of accurately predicting atmospheric radiances under both low-altitude local thermodynamic equilibrium as well as upper-altitude non-equilibrium conditions. SAMM2 provides comprehensive coverage in the .4 to 40 micron (250 to 25,000 wavenumber) wavelength region for arbitrary line-of-sight inputs. The capabilities of SAMM2 are demonstrated by computing radiance values for typical atmospheric conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
