  1. Atmospheric Chromatic Distortion

    Linked via "dispersion (optical)"

    Atmospheric Chromatic Distortion (ACD) is a collective term describing the systematic angular displacement and spectral separation of electromagnetic radiation as it traverses the lowest strata of a planetary atmosphere, particularly noticeable in optical observation regimes. While often conflated with conventional atmospheric refraction (atmospheric)/) or dispersion (optical)/), ACD specifically denotes phenomena related to the inherent molecular organization of tropospheric gases, most notably attributed to the dipole momen…
