Title: Atlas of absorption lines from 0 to 17900 cm (sup)-1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5775550

Plots of logarithm (base 10) of absorption line strength versus wavenumber from 0 to 17900/cm(sup)-1 are shown for the 28 atmospheric gases (H/sub 2/O, CO/sub 2/, O/sub 3/, N/sub 2/O, CO, CH/sub 4/, O/sub 2/, NO, SO/sub 2/, NO/sub 2/, NH/sub 3/, HNO/sub 3/, OH, HF, HCl, HBr, HI, ClO, OCS, H/sub 2/CO, HOCl, N/sub 2/, HCN, CH/sub 3/Cl, H/sub 2/O/sub 2/, C/sub 2/H/sub 2/, C/sub 2/H/sub 6/, PH/sub 3/), which appear in the 1986 Air Force Geophysics Laboratory high-resolution transmission molecular absorption data base (HITRAN) compilation, and for O(P-3), O-18 isotopic ozone, and HO2 from the 1984 JPL compilation in the 0- to 200/cm(sup)-1 region, and infrared solar CO lines at 4500 K. Also shown are plots of logarithm (base 10) of approximate infrared absorption cross sections of 11 heavy molecules versus wavenumber. The cross-section data cover 700 to 1800/cm(sup)-1 and are included as a separate data file in the 1986 HITRAN database.
