Abstract
- Improved parameters for the description of Rayleigh scattering in air and for the detailed rotational Raman scattering component for scattering by [0.sub.2] and [N.sub.2] are presented for the wavelength range 200-1000 nm. These parameters enable more accurate calculations to be made of bulk molecular scattering and of the Ring effect for a variety of atmospheric radiative transfer and constituent retrieval applications. A solar reference spectrum with accurate absolute vacuum wavelength calibration, suitable for convolution with the rotational Raman spectrum for Ring effect calculations, has been produced at 0.01-nm resolution from several sources. It is convolved with the rotational Raman spectra of [0.sub.2] and [N.sub.2] to produce an atmospheric Ring effect source spectrum.
