Abstract

The IR absorption, emission, and reflectance spectra of (CO)i(H2O)20, 1 ≤ i ≤ 10, clusters were calculated using the molecular dynamics model. After the adsorption of CO molecules by clusters, IR radiation absorption and reflection by the system composed of them weakened, whereas thermal radiation power increased. We tracked changes in spectral characteristics as the number of molecules in clusters increased. Growing water clusters decreased absorption and gradually increased IR emission power. The growth of a water cluster with the addition of CO molecules to it as a rule caused the opposite effect. On the whole, clusterization and the entrapment of CO molecules by clusters had an antigreenhouse effect.
