Publications and References

This document lists references from:

The Atmospheric Optics Group at Marine Physical Lab

The Atmospheric Optics Group at Visibility Lab (same group, but previous lab, prior to 1985)

Other groups who have published articles including AOG names as authors (marked with *)

Selected Atmospheric Optics Group Technical Notes, especially those that served as final reports where no further publication was required, or that contain more detail than the publications

 

Reports from the Atmospheric Optics Group in the 50's and 60's are not included, but can be accessed on the Visibility Lab archival disk.  Contact jshields@ucsd.edu

Only technical articles are included; i.e. the series of Shields articles for the Light Touch column for OSA are not included.

The notes in italics under each reference indicate its availability, and where it can be obtained.
