摘要

Carbon dioxide is one of the most important trace gases in the terrestrial atmosphere. The spectral data required in remote sensing are the spectral parameter of each absorption line and a line shape model. This paper describes the absorption properties Of CO(2) near 2400 cm(-1); these properties are of interest to those in the atmospheric temperature sounding field. The shape of the far-wing of N(2)- and O(2)-broadened CO(2) lines was investigated in the 2200-2500 cm(-1) spectral region in a temperature range of atmospheric interest (230-318 K). We focused on the higher rotational quantum number of the R-branch in the v(3) band, where the effect of the far-wing is enhanced. The effect of the far-wing has been studied extensively by others, since the CO(2) v(3) band is known to exhibit sub-Lorentzian behavior. Here, we show the observed spectra along with calculated spectra for five temperatures. We used first-order line-mixing and the chi-factor, which accounts for the effect of the far-wing, to create the calculated spectra.
