Abstract

Field experiments using an IDAC Model 1000 Fourier transform interferometer-spectrometer (FTS) system in conjunction with a 120 cm diameter collector telescope have yielded 0,08cm−1 resolution infrared absorption spectra throughout the atmospheric window between 1900 cm−1 and 3200 cm−1. Results from measurements performed under a wide variety of meteorological conditions along five kilometer, sea-level propagation paths in both Maryland and Florida indicate a path-integrated HDO/H2O relative abundance ratio that is 50% lower than earlier estimates.
