“…Focused efforts to improve the oxygen A-band database using Fourier Transform [12, 13] and Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) were published in the years leading up to launch including (1) precise and accurate position measurements for multiple isotopologues [12, 14, 15] (2) precise and accurate intensity measurements [12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] (3) lineshape narrowing determinations for air and self collisional interactions [12, 13, 14, 17] (4) estimates for the temperature dependence of the broadening parameters [21] (5) determinations of line-mixing (LM) and collision-induced absorption (CIA) for high pressures [22], as well as atmospheric pressures in the P-branch [23] and (6) estimates of the extent of water broadening [24, 25, 26, 27]. Much of this information was absorbed into the most recent update of HITRAN [28], with the exceptions for the self-shift coefficient [14] and partial LM/CIA information [23].…”
