内容記述 | The near-infrared thermal emission windows in the spectrum of the night-side of Venus have stimulated new determinations of the intensities of weak CO2 bands which are prominent absorption features in Venus spectra. Parameters for many unmeasured bands have been recomputed for the HITRAN compilation using direct numerical diagonalization (DND) [Wattson and Rothman, J.Q.S.R.T. 48, 763 (1992)]. To assess these HITRAN values, we have been measuring several of these bands on spectra which were obtained using the Kitt Peak McMath FTS and 6-meter White cell. Last year we presented preliminary intensity measurements of the 01(exp 1)21-00(exp 0)01 perpendicular band and 4 associated hot bands, Five additional McMath FTS spectra have now been obtained covering the region 3800 to 8400/cm. This permits us to finalize our intensity measurements, and to make an assessment of their uncertainties. We anticipate that these measured values will help improve further DND calculations of many weak unmeasureable bands. In addition, self-broadening parameters were determined for some lines of the 01(exp 1)21-00(exp 0)01 perpendicular band on spectra obtained with 65 and 80 torr of CO2. Because of the large spectral range, these measurements could be compared directly to self-broadening parameters of corresponding parallel. band lines measured on the same spectra. This procedure eliminates several possible sources of systematic errors that are important when attempting to determine whether or not corresponding rotational lines in different overtone-combination bands have significant differences. Our measurements thus far have found self-broadening parameters for the 01(exp 1)21-00(exp 0)01 perpendicular band to be slightly larger than similar measurements for the 30(exp 0)14-00(exp 0)01 parallel band at 6076/cm. |
