THE INFRARED ABSORPTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract

The infrared absorption of carbon dioxide was calculated over a wide range of path length and pressure from 1/500 to 1/10,000 cm. The results are presented in extensive tables which give the transmission over intervals of 1/5 cm and also averaged over larger intervals. The calculated data representing the intensity, position, and number of spectral lines in a given frequency interval is tabulated in a form which is useful for further transmission calculations. All lines from all isotopic species having an intensity greater than 1/10 to the 8th power of the strongest line in an absorption region were included in the calculation. The transmission values were calculated from the quasi-random model which stimulates the actual frequency and intensity distributions of spectral lines better than pr vious models. (Autor)
