H20-N2 Transition Rates and Line Shifts of Water Vapor.
Abstract
The VV deactivation rate of N2 by H2O is calculated using a hard core repulsive potential. The process is found to be dominated by near resonant VR processes with large changes in rotational motion, and the rate is critically dependent on the classical path chosen. In part 2, a nonperturbative model of H2O is used to calculate the effects of centrifugal distortion on absorption line intensities. The errors are less than 10 percent for weak as well as strong lines. The effects of collision broadening by N2 and O2 are presented using Anderson theory together with dipole transitions by the multimode model.
