Spectroscopic database of CO2 line parameters: 4300–7000cm−1

A new spectroscopic database for carbon dioxide in the near infrared is presented to support remote sensing of the terrestrial planets (Mars, Venus and the Earth). The compilation contains over 28,500 transitions of 210 bands from 4300 to 7000 cm−1 and involves nine isotopologues: 16O12C16O (626), 16O13C16O (636), 16O12C18O (628), 16O12C17O (627), 16O13C18O (638), 16O13C17O (637), 18O12C18O (828), 17O12C18O (728) and 18O13C18O (838). Calculated line positions, line intensities, Lorentz half-width and pressure-induced shift coefficients for self- and air-broadening are taken from our recent measurements and are presented for the Voigt molecular line shape. The database includes line intensities for 108 bands measured using the McMath–Pierce Fourier transform spectrometer located on Kitt Peak, Arizona. The available broadening parameters (half-widths and pressure-induced shifts) of 16O12C16O are applied to all isotopologues. Broadening coefficients are computed using empirical expressions that have been fitted to the experimental data. There are limited data for the temperature dependence of widths and so no improvement has been made for those parameters. The line intensities included in the catalog vary from 4×10−30 to 1.29×10−21 cm−1/(molecule cm−2) at 296 K. The total integrated intensity for this spectral interval is 5.9559×10−20 cm−1/(molecule cm−2) at 296 K.
