COMPARISON OF MEASURED AND COMPUTED SPECTRA OF AIR SAMPLES

Air spectra with path lengths from 10 m to 1 km together with solar spectra have been obtained between $700 c m −1$ and $2600 c m −1$ using Fourier transform spectroscopy with a nominal resolution of $0.125 c m −1$ . These have been compared with synthetic spectra calculated by using the AFCRL line $l i s t i n g . 1$ The agreement between the spectra and the use of this technique to estimate abundances of atmospheric gases is discussed.
