Measurements of air-broadened and nitrogen-broadened Lorentz width coefficients and pressure shift coefficients in the nu(4) and nu(2) bands of (12)CH(4).
Air-broadened and N(2)-broadened halfwidth and pressure shift coefficients of 294 transitions in the nu(4) and nu(2) bands of (12)CH(4) have been measured from laboratory absorption spectra recorded at room temperature with the Fourier transform spectrometer in the McMath solar telescope facility of the National Solar Observatory. Total pressures of up to 551 Torr were employed with absorption paths of 5-150 cm, CH(4) volume mixing ratios of 2.6% or less, and resolutions of 0.005 and 0.01 cm(-1). A nonlinear least-squares spectral fitting technique has been utilized in the analysis of the twenty-five measured spectra. Lines up to J' = 18 in the nu(4) band and J' = 15 in the nu(2) band have been analyzed.
