Title: Line shape parameters of air-broadened water vapor transitions in the ν 1 and ν 3 spectral region

Abstract

A Bruker IFS-120HR Fourier transform spectrometer located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington was used to record a series of spectra of pure H2O and air-broadened H2O in the regions of the ν1 and ν3 bands (3450–4000 cm-1) at different pressures, temperatures and volume mixing ratios of H2O in air. Eighteen high-resolution, high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio absorption spectra were recorded at T = 268, 296 and 353 K using two temperature-controlled absorption cells with path lengths of 9.906(1) and 19.95(1) cm. Furthermore, the resolution of the spectra recorded with the 9.906 cm and 19.95 cm absorption cells was 0.006 and 0.008 cm-1, respectively. A multispectrum nonlinear least squares fitting technique was employed to fit all the eighteen spectra simultaneously to retrieve 313 accurate line positions, 315 intensities, 229 Lorentz air-broadened half-width and 213 air-shift coefficients and their temperature dependences (136 for air-broadened width and 128 for air-shift coefficients, respectively). Room temperature self-broadened half-width coefficients for 209 transitions and self-shift coefficients for 106 transitions were also measured. Line mixing coefficients were experimentally determined for isolated sets of 10 transition pairs for H2O-air and 8 transition pairs for H2O-H2O using the off-diagonal relaxation matrix element formalism, and 85more » quadratic speed dependence parameters were measured. Modified Complex Robert-Bonamy (MCRB) calculations of self-, and air-broadened (from N2- and O2-broadening) half-width and air-shift coefficients, and temperature dependence exponents of air-broadened half-width coefficients are made. Finally, the measurements and calculations are compared with each other and with similar parameters reported in the literature.« less
