Quadrature effects on the accuracy of flux calculations in realistic atmospheres
1993
Abstract We have investigated the accuracy of five different quadrature methods—equal steps in θ, equal steps in cos θ, Gaussian, double Gaussian and Gauss-Lobatto—on the accuracy of fluxes in realistic aerosol atmospheres, using the Gauss-Seidel method. In addition, a range of Gaussian quadrature stream numbers from two to 32 were compared. The atmospheric models considered are those recently presented by Lenoble, with the exception that we have used Henyey-Greenstein phase functions in place of Mie. Our results should be easily reproduceable by any other workers interested in similar realistic atmospheres. A table of Gauss-Lobatto weights and points is provided as an appendix.
MeCaSDa and ECaSDa: Methane and ethene calculated spectroscopic databases for the virtual atomic and molecular data centre
2013
Abstract Two spectroscopic relational databases, denoted MeCaSDa and ECaSDa, have been implemented for methane and ethene, and included in VAMDC (Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre, http://portal.vamdc.eu/vamdc_portal/home.seam ). These databases collect calculated spectroscopic data from the accurate analyses previously performed for the electronic ground state of methane, ethene, and some of their isotopologues: 12CH4, 13CH4, and 12C2H4. Both infrared absorption and Raman scattering lines are included. The polyad structures are reported and the transitions are precisely described by their energy, their intensity and the full description of the lower and upper states involved in the …
A direct study of the vibrational bending effect in line mixing: The hot degenerate 1110 ← 0110 transition of CO2
1997
Abstract The study of the isotropiv Raman Q -branch of a hot band Π ← Π allows one to establish a direct connection between the vibration-rotation angular momentum coupling and the resulting spectra. Due to the l -doubling, the Q -branch is split into two subbranches characterized by either even or odd rotational quantum number j . The vibrational bending reduces the rotational transfer rates inside each of these subbranches by a factor of about two and induces an inter-subbranch coupling. The expected propensity rule towards conservation of the parity index for high rotational levels is well observed. Calculated spectra are in excellent agreement with CARS experiments for the v 1 + v 2 ← v…
Highly-spherical Top Data System (HTDS) software for spectrum simulation of octahedral XY6 molecules
2000
Abstract The Spherical Top Data System (STDS) program suite developed in Dijon has been extended into two directions. First, the vibrational extrapolation is now possible for any kind of polyad scheme, this one being fully specified in the input parameters of the programs for hamiltonian and transition moment model calculations. This was not the case of the preceding version which was based on the polyad scheme of methane. Secondly, it is now possible to study any band and polyad of XY 6 molecule for which a complete treatment in the O h group is made. Up to now, only some vibrational levels of these molecules ( F 1u levels in particular) could be studied using equivalences with the T d gro…
top data system ( TDS) software for infrared spectrum simulation of asymmetric molecules: some improvements to the TDS packages
2005
Abstract The spherical top data system (STDS) program suite developed in Dijon has been extended with the aim of studying any rovibrational band or polyad of XY 2 Z 2 ( C 2 v ) asymmetric top molecules. We work in the O ( 3 ) ⊃ T d ⊃ C 2 v chain because these species result from the substitution of two ligands of a corresponding “parent” spherical top and thus are relatively close to tetrahedral symmetry. The choice of this group chain has consequences on the method used to specify the input parameters of the programs for Hamiltonian and transition moment model calculations. One example concerning the ground state of the SO2F2 quasi-spherical molecule is presented. As before, this suite con…
On Green's function for cylindrically symmetric fields of polarized radiation
2009
Analytic expressions for Green's function describing the process of transfer of polarized radiation in homogeneous isotropic infinite medium in case of cylindrical symmetry and nonconservative scattering are obtained. The solution is based on the set of systems of Abel integral equations of the first kind obtained using the principle of superposition, and the known expression of Green's function for radiation fields with plane-parallel symmetry. Eigenvalue decompositions for the corresponding matrices of generalized spherical functions are found. Using this result the systems of Abel integral equations are diagonalized, and the final solution is obtained.
C4v Top Data System (C4v TDS) software for infrared spectrum simulation of XY5Z symmetric molecules
2002
Abstract The Highly spherical Top Data System program suite developed in Dijon has been extended in the aim of studying any rovibrational band or polyad of XY5Z (C4v) symmetric top molecules. We work in the O(3)⊃Oh⊃C4v chain because most of these species result from the substitution of one ligand of the corresponding spherical tops and thus are relatively close to octahedral symmetry. The choice of this group chain has consequences in the way in which it is used to specify the input parameters of the programs for Hamiltonian and transition moment model calculations. One example concerning the ν1/ν8 dyad of the SF 5 35 Cl molecule is presented. As before, this suite consists of a series of F…
Computer simulations of hydrogen spectral line shapes in dense plasmas
2002
A new formalism has been elaborated for calculations of hydrogen line profiles emitted by dense plasmas. The main equation of this formalism has a similar form to a set of close-coupled, time-dependent partial differential equations. Calculated line shapes are broadened, shifted and asymmetrical. The formalism yields both shifts and widths of a line calculated within the same theoretical approach. A new basis of the appropriate subspace of the Hilbert space has been built. This basis gives an accurate description of the quadratic Stark effect, and the interaction of the emitter with field gradients. The computer simulation has been used to determine the emitter perturbations by electrons an…
On Green's function for spherically symmetric problems of transfer of polarized radiation
2005
Analytic expressions for Green's function describing the process of transfer of polarized radiation in homogeneous isotropic infinite medium in case of spherical symmetry and nonconservative scattering are obtained. Spherical eigenfunctions of the homogeneous transfer equation are not used, due to their strong divergence; instead, direct transformation from plane-parallel to spherical symmetry is carried out, leading to convergent solutions. The possible existence of generalized eigenfunctions of homogeneous transfer equation is accounted for.
New assignments in the 2μm transparency window of the 12CH4 Octad band system
2013
Abstract This paper reports new assignments of rovibrational transitions of 12 CH 4 bands in the range 4600–4887 cm −1 which is usually referred to as a part of the 2 μm methane transparency window. Several experimental data sources for methane line positions and intensities were combined for this analysis. Three long path Fourier transform spectra newly recorded in Reims with 1603 m absorption path length and pressures of 1, 7 and 34 hPa for samples of natural abundance CH 4 provided new measurements of 12 CH 4 lines. Older spectra for 13 CH 4 (90% purity) from JPL with 73 m absorption path length were used to identify the corresponding lines. Most of the lines in this region belong to th…
