Abstract:

Water vapor line broadening coefficients induced by carbon dioxide are important for different problems of atmospheric physics, astrophysics, and laser physics. Line widths of H₂O–CO₂ were computed by a semi-empirical method for rotational quantum numbers J from 0 till 20. The temperature dependence was investigated and the temperature exponents for every transition were calculated.

Keywords:

line contour, half-width, temperature dependence
