Beschreibung:
Ultrahigh resolution (0.007 per cm) atmospheric solar absorption spectra that have been obtained from a tunable infrared heterodyne radiometer are discussed. The radiometer was developed for ground based observations in the 8-12 micron region, and tunability is achieved through the use of Pb-salt semiconductor laser local oscillators. Spectra have been obtained in a piecewise fashion from 9.1 to 11.1 microns using laser emission modes that exhibit characteristics suitable for local-oscillator operation. Spectra showing absorption features of HNO3, O3, CO2, and H2O are presented along with comparisons of experimental and synthetic spectra calculated using a line-by-line atmospheric transmission model.
