Improved line parameters for ozone bands in the 10-microm spectral region.

A complete update of spectroscopic line parameters for the 10-microm bands of ozone is reported. The listing contains calculated positions, intensities, lower state energies, and air- and self-broadened halfwidths of more than 53,000 lines. The results have been generated using improved spectroscopic parameters obtained in a number of recent high resolution laboratory studies. A total of eighteen bands of (16)O(3) (sixteen hot bands plus the nu(1) and nu(3) fundamentals) are included along with the nu(1) and nu(3) fundamentals of both (16)O(16)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O(16)O. As shown by comparisons of line-by-line simulations with 0.003-cm(-1) resolution balloon-borne stratospheric solar spectra, the new parameters greatly improve the accuracy of atmospheric calculations in the 10-microm region, especially for the isotopic (16)O(16)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O(16)O lines.
