The Effects of Atmospheric Water Vapor on Infrared Propagation.

Abstract

The goal of this project was to obtain experimental water vapor absorption data using a long path absorption cells. One experiment used a frequency doubled C02 laser source to obtain data at specific frequencies near 5.2 micrometer. The second experiment collected high resolution (.06/cm) Fourier transform spectra over the 500-5000/cm band for pure and nitrogen broadened samples. It was planned to use these data to improve the far-wing line shape model.
