The basic atmospheric calculation in PcModWin5 uses the MODTRAN5® model. MODTRAN5® performs accurate and speedy calculations from the UV through the visible, infrared and microwave spectrum (0 to 50,000 cm^-1). Calculations in the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions (> 22600 cm^-1) are performed at lower spectral resolution (20 cm^-1), while those in the IR and longer wavelengths are done at 0.1 cm^-1 resolution. MODTRAN5® is distributed as a large (> 35000 lines) FORTRAN program oriented around command line operation, with inputs taken from numerous formatted input files. Operating MODTRAN5® directly requires extensive knowledge of the file formats and input parameters for the code.

PcModWin, however, is a user-friendly input/output generation system developed by Ontar. It is a Windows-based program that organizes the inputs into screens that are easy to fill out. Click here for an example. Instead of selecting integers for cryptically named variables and hand-editing a formatted text file, you can point and click selections to prompts like "Model Atmosphere". PcModWin creates the necessary formatted input files to run MODTRAN5®, based on your inputs. It also includes output plotting to quickly view the results of a calculation.
