Molecular Line Shape Effects on Atmospheric Window Absorption

Abstract

Two theoretical approaches have been followed to calculate far wing absorption of collision reduced absorption in the infrared. The first approach was a standard time dependent perturbation theory. Two methods of this kind were pursued, using different limits. A second approach was investigated called the Recursive Residue Generation Method. The first approach was applied to water self-broadening. Results are given in 10 micro m region. The second approach was investigated for feasibility and examined in the context of the HCl-Ar wings. Keywords: Atmospheric absorption; Continuum absorption; Atmospheric windows
