New Studies of the Visible and Near-Infrared Absorption by Water Vapour and Some Problems with the HITRAN Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
New laboratory measurements and theoretical calculations of integrated line intensities for water vapour bands in the near-infrared and visible (8500-15800 cm) are summarised. Band intensities derived from the new measured data show a systematic 6 to 26% increase compared to calculations using the HITRAN-96 database. The recent corrections to the HITRAN database [Giver et al., J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 66, 101-105, 2000] do not remove these discrepancies and the differences change to 6 to 38%. The new data is expected to substantially increase the calculated absorption of solar energy due to water vapour in climate models based on the HITRAN database.

Evaluation of suitable spectral intervals for near-IR laboratory detection of water vapour continuum absorption
The water vapour continuum absorption is an important component of molecular absorption of radiation in atmosphere. However, uncertainty in knowledge of the value of the continuum absorption at present can achieve 100% in different spectral regions leading to an error in flux calculation up to 3-5 W/m 2 global mean. This work uses line-by-line calculations to reveal the best spectral intervals ...
متن کاملThe water vapour continuum in near-infrared windows – Current understanding and prospects for its inclusion in spectroscopic databases
Spectroscopic catalogues, such as GEISA and HITRAN, do not yet include information on the water vapour continuum that pervades visible, infrared and microwave spectral regions. This is partly because, in some spectral regions, there are rather few laboratory measurements in conditions close to those in the Earth’s atmosphere; hence understanding of the characteristics of the continuum absorptio...
متن کاملRTIASI-4: a new version of the ECMWF fast radiative transfer model for the infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer
An improved version of RTIASI, the ECMWF fast radiative transfer model for the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, has been developed. In the new version of RTIASI (RTIASI-4) the accuracy of the fast transmittance model has been improved by including 4 more molecules (HNO3, CCl4, CF4 and OCS) in the line-by-line computations and by using the year 2000 release of the HITRAN molecular d...
متن کاملThe Water Vapor Spectrum in the Region 8600-15 000 cm(-1): Experimental and Theoretical Studies for a New Spectral Line Database.
New laboratory measurements are presented for the near-infrared and visible spectrum (8600-15 000 cm(-1)) of water vapor. Spectral line parameters, principally intensities and air-broadening coefficients, are derived from Fourier transform spectroscopic measurements at high resolution (0.03 cm(-1)), a range of optical path lengths (5-513 m), and temperatures of both 252 and 296 K. Experimental ...

Gold nanoshells are a new type of nanoparticles including dielectric cores with a continuous thin layer of gold. By varying the core diameter, shell thickness, and the ratio of these parameters, the optical properties of gold nanoshells can be tuned to have maximum absorption in the visible and near infrared spectrum range. The purpose of this research was to synthesize gold coated SiO2 nanos...
