  6. Lambert-Beers Law of Absorption: Radiation Field Coupling Matter Molecular Absorption

  7. Intensity in HITRAN database: Partition Sum: Temperature dependence of halfwidth: air (pref,T) = air (pref,Tref) (Tref /T)n Molecular Absorption (for HITRAN, Tref = 296K)

  8. HITRAN Line-by-line Parameters 160-character total 8

  9. JavaHAWKS Software Installers and Documentation Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 File Structure of HITRAN Compilation HITRAN (line-transition parameters) IR Cross-sections UV Line Coupling CO2 data Aerosol Refractive Indices Global Data Files, Tables, and References Line-by-line Cross-sections Supplemental Supplemental Alternate Molecule- by-molecule 9

  10. Species Currently Covered (line-by-line portion) 97 Isotopologues 10

  15. IUPAC Water-Vapor Task Distributed Information System • Collect all kinds of original information about the high-resolution spectroscopy of the water molecule • Provide active storage of these data and related metadata • Deliver information to users in different forms via the Internet 15

  16. IUPAC vs HITRAN Ro-vibrational levels for H217O 16

  17. Some Sources of Errors in the HITRAN Database • Theory • Perturbations • Line shapes • Lack of convergence • Limit of basis sets • Measurement • Calibration • Resolution • Photometric accuracy • Pressure, temperature, stability, … • Methods of analysis • Identification of lines • Units • Transcription 17

  18. Improvements and Enhancements to theCompilationbeing considered ►More temperature-pressure sets of cross-sections (IR and UV) ►Improved database structure (IUPAC paradigm) ►High-temperature parameters (HITEMP) ►Molecules for astrophysics applications ►Refined line-shape parameters ►Additional line-mixing algorithms ►Collision-Induced Absorption bands 18

  19. Access web site: http://cfa.harvard.edu/HITRAN • Gives instructions for accessing compilation (free) • Updates • - Documentation • - Links to related databases • - HITRAN facts • - Related conferences 19

  21. JavaHAWKS Java version of HITRAN Atmospheric WorKStation • Functions to manipulate and filter the HITRAN and • associated molecular spectroscopic databases • Plotting of line-by-line files and cross-section files • Internet access to HITRAN and other related databases • Links to abstracts that are the sources for • HITRAN parameters • Access to archival HITRAN documentation 21
