The Strategic High-Altitude Radiance Code (SHARC) is a new computer code that calculates atmospheric radiation and transmittance for paths from 60 to 300 km altitude in the 2-40 microns spectral region. It models radiation due to NLTE (Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium) molecular emissions. This initial version of SHARC includes the five strongest IR radiators, NO, CO, H 2 O, O3 and CO2. This report describes the code and models used to calculate the NLTE molecular populations and the resulting atmospheric radiance. The SHARC Manual is reproduced in the appendix.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, SEA 2009, held in Dortmund, Germany, in June 2009. The 23 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions and present current research on experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects of computational optimization and its applications. Contributions are supported by experimental evaluation, methodological issues in the design and interpretation of experiments, the use of (meta- ) heuristics, or application-driven case studies that deepen the understanding of a problem's complexity.
