- A general, analytical expression for the nth Fourier component of a wavelength-modulated Lorentzian lineshape function in terms of a normalized detuning and a normalized modulation amplitude is derived. The expression is cast in a purely real form and is therefore easier to use than the normally used expression, which is given in terms of various combinations (sums, square roots, and powers) of complex expressions and their complex conjugates. Analytical expressions for the nine first Fourier components (n = 0,...,8), clearly showing their dependence on normalized detuning and modulation amplitude, are explicitly given. Simplified expressions for the even harmonics of the Fourier components on resonance, at which they take their maximum value, solely given in terms of the normalized modulation amplitude, are also explicitly given. It is shown that previously published, numerically calculated conditions for maximization of higher-order Fourier components are incorrect. The normalized modulation amplitudes that maximize the four lowest even harmonics of the Fourier components, i.e. for n = 2, 4, 6, and 8, are 2.20, 4.12, 6.08, and 8.06, respectively.

- Atmospheric observations from space often result in spectral data of large dimensions. To allow an optimal inversion of the observed spectra it can be necessary to map the data into a space of smaller dimension. Here several data reduction techniques based on eigenvector expansions of the spectral space are compared. The comparison is done by inverting simulated observations from a microwave limb sounder, the Odin-SMR. For the examples tested, reductions exceeding two orders of magnitude with no negative influence on the retrieval performance are demonstrated. The techniques compared include a novel method developed especially for atmospheric inversions, based on the weighting functions of the variables to be retrieved. The new method shows an excellent performance in practical tests and is both computationally more effective and more flexible than the standard Hotelling transformation.

- Absolute absorption rates of pure water vapor and mixtures of water vapor and nitrogen have been measured in the laboratory at 350 GHz. The dependence on pressure and temperature has been obtained. Additionally, a water vapor continuum parameter estimation, taking even the previous laboratory measurements from 150 to 350 GHz into account, is performed.

Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium limb radiances for the mipas instrument on Envisat-1

- An evaluation of the effects that the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) has on the retrieval of pressure, temperature and the five primary target gases (O3, H2O, CH4, N2O, and HNO3) from spectra to be taken by Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) on the Envisat-1 platform has been conducted. For doing so, non-LTE and LTE limb radiances in the spectral range of 680–2275 cm−1 (4.15–14.6 μm) with a resolution of 0.05 cm−1 at tangent heights from 10 to 70 km have been computed. These calculations included the most updated non-LTE populations of a large number of vibrational levels of the CO2, O3, H2O, CH4, N2O and HNO3 molecules which cause the most prominent atmospheric infrared emissions. A discussion of the most important non-LTE effects on the limb radiances as well as on the retrievals of pressure-temperature and volume mixing ratios of O3, H2O, CH4, N2O, and HNO3 is presented, together with the most important non-LTE issues that could be studied with the future coming of MIPAS data.

- A new model for calculating the populations of the ozone vibrational states under non-LTE (Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium) conditions is presented. In the model, 23 vibrational levels of the O3 molecule, as well as three vibrational levels of the O2 molecule and two vibrational levels of the N2 molecule, are considered. The radiative transfer at the break-down of LTE was treated explicitly for 150 000 ro-vibrational transitions. The populations obtained were used to calculate limb radiances in various spectral regions of the 4.8 and 9.6 μm bands. Test retrievals of O3 vertical volume mixing ratio (VMR) profiles with a radiance model disregarding non-LTE were performed in order to assess the potential impact of non-LTE effects on the retrieval of the O3 abundances from MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) measurements.

- A widely used method for determination of transition probabilities and oscillator strengths is based on measurements of branching fractions and radiative lifetimes. In the present work the different sources of uncertainty in branching fraction measurements using Fourier transform spectroscopy and lifetime measurements using laser induced fluorescence are discussed. A detailed description is presented of how the uncertainties should be combined to provide a well-defined uncertainty of the derived quantity. Finally, an example shows how the individual uncertainties can be presented in an “uncertainty budget”.

A simple new radiative transfer model for simulating the effect of cirrus clouds in the microwave spectral region

- The upwelling atmospheric radiation in the millimeter wave spectral range is influenced by the presence of cirrus clouds. A plane parallel radiative transfer model which can take into account the effect of multiple scattering by ice particles in the cirrus has been developed and is used to simulate the brightness temperatures as they would be measured by a satellite instrument. The model uses an iterative procedure to solve the radiative transfer equation. The formulation of the model is such that it can easily be adapted to treat the full specific intensity vector instead of just the scalar total intensity. A convergence test for the model is explained and two cirrus cloud scenarios are simulated. The results illustrate the linearity of microwave radiative transfer for not too strong cirrus clouds in this frequency region

- Accurate determination of the complex refractive index of SU-8 epoxy has significant for the wide variety of applications in optical sensor technology at IR range. The complex refractive index of SU-8 is determined by recording the transmission of light spectra for the wavelength range of 2.5 – 22.0 μm. The data analysis is based on the Kramers-Kronig dispersion relation method. The method has several merits, such as ease of operation, non-contact technique, measurement accuracy, and rapid measurement. The present method is not restricted to the case of SU-8 but it is also proposed to be applicable across a broad range of applications, such as assessment of the optical properties of paints and biomedical samples.

- Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) calculations are performed for 22 states in singly ionized tin (Sn II) belonging to the 5s2ns (n=6,7), 5s2nd (n=5,6), 5s5p2 even parity configurations and the 5s2np (n=5,6,7), 5s24f odd parity configurations. Valence-valence and core-valence correlation effects are taken into account through configuration state function (CSF) expansions. Complete and consistent data sets of level energies, wavelengths, oscillator strengths, lifetimes and transition rates among all these states are given. The results are compared with existing theoretical and experimental results. There is an excellent agreement for calculated excitation energies with experimental data from the NIST database. Lifetimes and transition rates are also in agreement with the results from previous calculations and available measurements for most of the transitions.

- RTS is a modular program that simulates atmospheric radiative transfer. The paper describes ARTS version 1.0, which is applicable in the absence of scattering. An overview over all major parts of the model is given: calculation of absorption coefficients, the radiative transfer itself, and the calculation of Jacobians. ARTS can be freely used under a GNU general public license. Unique features of the program are its scalability and modularity, the ability to work with different sources of spectroscopic parameters, the availability of several self-consistent water continuum and line absorption models, and the analytical calculation of Jacobians.
