The infrared atmospheric background modeling can be considered as one of the important key factor to develop a successful target detection technique. During the infrared atmospheric background modeling, defining the input parameters of the atmospheric profile are very important for the calculations of the absorption, emission and scattering effects of the atmosphere. The main objective of this thesis is to find the answer for the question &ldquo / is it possible to determine the &ldquo / effective&rdquo / height range for the sea level midlatitude clear weather conditions in the three special wavelength bands, 1-3 &amp / #61549 / m, 3-5 &amp / #61549 / m, 8-12 &amp / #61549 / m ?&rdquo / . The answer is important for three cases. These are to overcome the difficulties of finding all the parameters of the new atmospheric profile, to determine the dominant height range for the midlatitude region, and to shorten the time of the calculations of infrared background processes. In this study, it has been shown that it should be possible to determine the effective height range for sea level midlatitude clear weather conditions in the three special wavelength bands. As a result of this study it is shown that a new atmosphere model can be constructed more easily by overcoming the difficulties of finding all the parameters of the new atmospheric profile for the sea level clear weather midlatitude regions in a short time respectively. In this study the infrared radiation flux below 5 % difference between the whole, 100 km, and the effective height ranges is accepted.

O manuseio de grãos durante as operações de carga e descarga geram materiais particulados que são liberados para a atmosfera interferindo na qualidade do ar da região. Essa pesquisa identificou a presença de material particulado proveniente de grãos na cidade de Santos utilizando dados disponibilizados pelos satélites da NASA, índices de qualidade do ar fornecidos pela CETESB e dados obtidos pela técnica LIDAR. / Grain handling during loading and unloading operations generates particulate materials that are released into the atmosphere by interfering with the air quality of the region. This research identified the presence of particulate matter from grain in the city of Santos using data provided by NASA satellites, air quality indexes provided by CETESB and data obtained by the LIDAR technique.
