Description:
Numerical modeling of composition and thermal balance of planetary
atmospheres requires a considerable amount of laboratory data. Among
them, the absorption cross sections in the UV range are needed both
for computing the heating in the atmosphere and the photodissociation
coefficients to initiate a rich disequilibrium chemistry. Prompted by
these needs in the community and by the sparse collection of data in
several other web pages (http://www.science-softcon.de/ or
http://satellite.mpic.de/spectral_atlas/index.html whose data depend
on some pre-processing before being ingested in these models), this
web page aims at providing the community with absorption cross
sections in the range 20 nm to 400 nm equally spaced every 0.2, 0.5
and 1.0 nm. Also, original data as appearing in the refereed journal
and the reference itself are downloadable.
