Very accurate parameters on the (00011-00001) band of 12C16O2 have been obtained by Pine and Guelachvili. Their measurment was accomplished by combining two spectra, a room temperature Fourier transform spectrum, and a high temperature tunable laser spectrum.1 There have been numerous measurements of other bands of CO2,2,3 but they were made either with lower resolution spectrometers, or near room temperature where fewer rotational lines were excited, resulting in a less accurate determination of band parameters. In this work a high resolution Michelson interferometer was coupled with a high temperature absorption cell4 heated to 800 K to obtain a high resolution (0.007 cm−1), high temperature spectrum of CO2 in the 4.3 micron region.","PeriodicalId":199214,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Spectroscopy in Support of Atmospheric Measurements","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129905833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative interpretation of the signal necessarily requires knowledge of the fluorescence quantum yield of the excited molecules at the ambient pressure. At stratospheric or tropospheric pressures the fluorescent yield is inversely proportional to the quenching rate for most species so that an accurate determination of species concentrations is dependent on a similarly accurate determination of the quenching rates. This is in contrast to Raman lidar where the re-emission is prompt and quenching does not play a significant role.","PeriodicalId":199214,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Spectroscopy in Support of Atmospheric Measurements","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131340935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the theory suffers from a fundamental defect in that, for small impact parameter, b, the interruption function, S(b), attains unphysically large values. In an attempt to circumvent this difficulty, Murphy and Boggs [3] developed an alternative method that used an exponential expansion of the collision matrix elements; this expansion led to finite values of the matrix elements for all impact parameters. Cattani [4] grafted the Murphy-Boggs expansion onto the ATC theory; a similar result was later derived by Salesky and Korff [5]. These latter three approaches neglect the important reorientation terms that were shown by Gordon [6] to be significant.","PeriodicalId":199214,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Spectroscopy in Support of Atmospheric Measurements","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123183049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
