AFCRL Atmospheric Absorption Line Parameters Compilation
Abstract
The report describes a compilation of the molecular spectroscopic parameters for a number of infrared-active molecules occurring naturally in the terrestrial atmsophere. The following molecules are included in this compilation: water vapor; carbon dioxide; ozone; nitrous oxide; carbon monoxide; methane; and oxygen. The spectral region covered extends from less than 1 micrometer to the far infrared, and data are presented on more than 100, 000 spectral lines. The parameters included in the compilation for each line are: frequency, intensity, half-width, energy of the lower state of the transition, vibrational and rotational identifications of the upper and lower energy states, an isotopic identification, and a molecular identification. A discussion is provided separately for each molecular species, indicating the sources and accuracy of the data and a general discussion of how the data were obtained.
