Abstract

To support remote sensing of the outer planets, absorption spectra of H2O broadened by H2 are being recorded at 0.012cm−1 resolution using the McMath Fourier transform spectrometer located at Kitt Peak National Observatory / National Solar Observatory. Pressure-broadened linewidths at room temperature are being obtained with precisions of 2 to 5% for the strongest fundamental transitions between 1850 and 3950cm−1. These measurements will be presented, and rotational and vibrational dependencies will be discussed.

Description

part of the research reported in this paper was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
