ABSTRACT

Bauer et al. 1995

Bauer, A., M. Godon, J. Carlier, and Q. Ma, 1995: Water vapor absorption in the atmospheric window at 239 GHz. J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 53, 411-423, doi:10.1016/0022-4073(95)90016-0.

Absolute absorption rates of pure water and mixtures of water vapor and nitrogen have been measured in the atmospheric window at 239 GHz. The dependence on pressure as well as temperature has been obtained. The experimental data are compared with several theoretical or empirical models, and satisfactory agreement is obtained with the models involving a continuum; in the case of pure water vapor, the continuum contribution based upon recent theoretical developments gives good results. The temperature dependence is stronger than that proposed in a commonly used atmospheric transmission model.
