WHOLE BAND ANALYSIS OF ABSORPTION BANDS OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE SPECTRAL RECION $3.6 TO 4.0 \mu m$.

Abstract

The technique of whole band $analysis^{1}$ has been used to obtain, simultaneously, line parameter estimates from three band $systems^{2}$ between $3.6 and 4.0 \mu m$. These systems include two Fermi resonant triads of the transition (2000-0000) of the isotopes ${^{16}o}{^{12}c}{^{10}O}$ and ${^{16}o}{^{12}c}{^{17}o}$. Parameter estimates, including rotational band constants, collision half-widths and band strengths are presented. In addition, modification of the spectra and their affect on the parameter estimates, produced by instrumental effects, are discussed.
