COMPARISON BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL AND CALCULATED SPECTRA OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER VAPOR

Abstract

Line by line calculations of absorption spectra were carried out for the 2.0 and the 2.7 micron bands of carbon dioxide and for the 2.7 micron band of water vapor. The parameters for these calculations are taken from published listings for these bands. The calculations are compared with experimental data of the same spectral resolution, this being a fraction of a wavenumber. The comparisons show the line positions to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The 2.0 micron bands of carbon dioxide differ from the calculations by a small amount, but adjustment of parameters is required for the experimental and calculated values to agree in the 2.7 micron bands of carbon dioxide. There are large differences between calculated and experimental spectra in the 2.7 micron band of water vapor throughout much of the spectra.
