Overall Philosophy of HITRAN-PC as a Spectral Design Tool
Emission based LIDAR
Emission based LIDAR setups LIBS setup LITE setup
Example of atmospheric effects on experimental LITE spectra Experimental LITE spectrum of painted wood Atmospheric path ~1 meter
Importance of blended databases for accurate transmission spectra Modify our existing HITRAN-PC to include - UV-VIS databases (important for UV LIBS etc.) - IR experimental databases (atmospheric pollutants etc) • Combined use / blending and comparison of databases - Addition of contaminant clouds to the atmosphere - Supplementing spectral data unavailable in HITRAN (such as O2 absorption in the UV for LIBS etc.)
Emission based LIDAR modeling and evolution of HITRAN-PC
Blended / new databases supported by HITRAN-PC 5.0 Beta GEISA line-by-line GEISA cross-sections (difficult to use with automated access) New experimental databases supported - AEDC / EPA (Atmospheric pollutants) - Coblentz IR database - NIST IR databases - Mpi-Mainz UV-VIS spectral atlas JPL and CDMS
Running HITRAN-PC with HITRAN and GEISA at the same time and same parameters Calculation parameters: Slant path 45 degree up looking, 20 km path, 20 layers, US standard
Example: HITRAN and GEISA line-by-line comparisons for CH4 Calculation parameters: 1000m path, part. press: 5E-4 Atm
Example: Comparison of the PNNL, EPA, HITRAN and GEISA line-by-line for CH3Br * - EPA (Multi-spectra, some with contaminants) CH3Br , 1 km path, 5ppm
Example: Comparison of the PNNL, EPA, HITRAN and GEISA line-by-line for CH3Cl * - EPA (Multi-spectra, some with contaminants) CH3Cl , 1 km path, 5ppm
Web-browser database access approach from within HITRAN-PC May need to use embedded Web browser for some databases with manual record-by-record access (Need to interface and work with database owners) Databases: MPI-Mainz UV-VIS Spectral Atlas JPL CDMS AEDC / EPA
HITRAN-PC 5.0 Beta Overview
New spectral features Planned for Beta 5.0 Store individual line spectra for each line-by-line record (and for each layer) Easy to assemble / merge lines or isotopes separately or as a composite in real time with no recalculation Easy direct comparison of different databases in number of lines, differences in coverage etc. New lineshapes and models
Real time spectra decomposition Composite Molecule totals Isotope totals Separate molecule lines Separate isotope lines Calculation parameters: HITRAN database, US Standard (H2O and CO2), horizontal 1000 m path
PNNL and HITRAN comparison for CO2 with spectral decomposition Green – Hitran line-by-line, Blue - PNNL Calculation parameters: US Standard, 100m, CO2
