The authors gratefully acknowledge the technical assistance of W. L. Smith and R. D. Gay without whose aid this work would not have been possible. Weathering tests were performed by W. L. Smith. Optical spectra were measured by R. D. Gay. Proton profiles were measured by P. Peercy. Ellipsometry measurements were made by P. D. Thatcher. Scanning electron micrographs were taken by C. Karfs. Interference film and surface roughness profile measurements were made by R. Pilkey. This research is supported by the US Department of Energy.

N2 - Significant weathering effects were observed only for the soda-lime-silicate glasses. In this case, the first stage of weathering, the formation of a low-density antireflection film, resulted in the spalling of the glass surface and severe degradation of the optical quality of the glass. Float glasses exhibited better weathering resistance on their tin-rich surfaces than on tin-poor surfaces.
