Investigation of the Absorption of Infrared Radiation by Nitrous Oxide from 760 to 2380/cm (13.2 to 4.2 micrometers)

Abstract

Experimental data are presented on the absorption by a variety of N2O samples between 760 and 2380/cm. Most of the absorption between 760 and 850/cm is due to extreme wings of lines centered outside the interval. Strengths of the important band systems are given. Curves of transmittance and tables of integrated absorptance and the integrated absorption coefficient provide detailed information on the absorption. The objective of the study was to provide the data required to determine the parameters of all N2O absorption lines that absorb significantly over any atmospheric path of interest.
