Spectroscopic Data bases and Models of Continuum Absorption for Computation of Atmosheric Radiation: A Ten-Year Retrospective and the Current State

摘要

The effect of using new spectroscopic databases and continuum absorption models on the results of calculating atmospheric radiation fluxes is estimated. The HITRAN-92, HITRAN-96, HITRAN-97c, HITRAN-2k, Patridge-Schwenke, and ESA-WVR databases are considered. Results of considering "weak" H_2O spectral lines taken from the Patridge-Schwenke database and of using new models of continuum absorption by H_2O, N_2, O_2, and other molecules are analyzed. It is shown that the effect of "anomalous absorption" of atmospheric radiation cannot be eliminated by applying the new spectroscopic data.
