IMPROVED LINE PARAMETERS FOR OZONE BANDS IN THE 10-MU-M SPECTRAL REGION

A complete update of spectroscopic line parameters for the 10-/xm bands of ozone is reported. The listing contains calculated positions, intensities, lower state energies, and air- and self-broadened halfwidths of more than 53, 000 lines. The results have been generated using improved spectroscopic parameters obtained in a number of recent high resolution laboratory studies. A total of eighteen bands of 1603 (sixteen hot bands plus the v\ and v3 fundamentals) are included along with the vx and v3 fundamentals of both 160160180 and i6oi8()160. As shown by comparisons of line-by-line simulations with 0.003-cm-1 resolution balloon-borne stratospheric solar spectra, the new parameters greatly improve the accuracy of atmospheric calculations in the 10-yum region, especially for the isotopic 160160180 and 160180160 lines. © 1990 Optical Society of America.
