| Earth | assumes spheric earth shape, rE= 6367.0 km, no horizontal gradients |
| refraction | should be meaningless above 40 km and thus is not defined in detail |
| spectroscopic data | HITRAN96, only O3 and CO2 should be considered |
| vibrational state energies | these are included in the Tvib files |
| NLTE | please provide LTE and NLTE calculations |
| Continuum | No additional continuum radiation should be considered |
| line mixing | should not be considered |
| background temperature | 0 K |
| background emissivity | 0 |
| limb sounding tangent altitudes | 40 km 60 km 80 km 100 km |
| p, T, vmr, Tvib |
Midlatitude day
Midlatitude night Polar winter Polar summer Format description for Tvib data p and T profiles appear both in the vmr profiles data set and in the vibrational temperatures data set. Please use p and T data from the vmr profiles data set and ignore p and T data in the vibrational temperatures data set. |
| output grid | 0.01 cm-1;
The first output grid point coincides with the left microwindow boundary and thus also represents radiation from outside the microwindow boundary. |
| spectral resolution and instrumental line-shape | convolution of monochromatic spectra with a rectangle of 0.01 cm-1 full width (note to all FTS people: rectangular in the spectral domain, not in the interferogram domain!) |
| Field of view | use infinitesimal field of view, zero aperture |
| microwindows | 675.5-676.5 cm-1 and 967.0-968.0 cm-1 |
