CDSD-4000: High-resolution, high-temperature carbon dioxide spectroscopic databank

Abstract

We present a high-resolution, high-temperature version of the Carbon Dioxide Spectroscopic Databank called CDSD-4000. The databank contains the line parameters (positions, intensities, air- and self-broadened half-widths, coefficients of temperature dependence of air- and self-broadened half-widths, and air-broadened pressure shifts) of the four most abundant isotopologues of CO 2. A reference temperature is 296 K and an intensity cutoff is 10 −27 cm −1/molecule cm −2 at 4000 K. The databank has 628,324,454 entries, covers the 226–8310 cm −1 spectral range and designed for the temperature range 2500–5000 K. Format of CDSD-4000 is similar to that of HITRAN-2008. The databank has been generated within the framework of the method of effective operators and based on the global fittings of spectroscopic parameters (parameters of the effective Hamiltonians and effective dipole moment operators) to observed data collected from the literature. The databank is useful for studying high-temperature radiative properties of CO 2, including exoplanets atmospheres, aerothemal modeling for Mars entry missions, high-temperature laboratory spectra, and industrial applications. CDSD-4000 is freely accessible via the Internet site ftp://ftp.iao.ru/pub/CDSD-4000.
