  • Anharmonicity and cross section for absorption of radiation by water dimer 

    Tso, H. C. W.; Geldart, D. J. W.; Chylek, P. (AIP, 1998-04/01)
    We calculate the absorption cross section of water dimer molecules in thermal equilibrium at temperatures typical of the lower atmosphere using quantum mechanical coupled nonlinear equations of motion. Empirical Morse-oscillator ...

  • Infrared water vapor continuum absorption at atmospheric temperatures 

    Cormier, John G.; Hodges, Joseph T.; Drummond, James R. (American Institute of Physics Inc, 2005)
    We have used a continuous-wave carbon dioxide laser in a single-mode realization of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to measure absorption coefficients of water vapor at 944 cm-1 for several temperatures in the range 270-315 ...
