title: Absorption cross-sections of atmospheric constituents: NO2, O2, and H2O.
abstract: Absorption spectroscopy, which is widely used for concentration measurements of tropospheric and stratospheric compounds, requires precise values of the absorption cross-sections of the measured species. NO(2), O(2) and its collision-induced absorption spectrum, and H(2)O absorption cross-sections have been measured at temperature and pressure conditions prevailing in the Earth's atmosphere. Corrections to the generally accepted analysis procedures used to resolve the convolution problem are also proposed.
