Abstract
An update of the former version of the database and software for the calculation of CO2–air absorption coefficients taking line-mixing into account [Lamouroux et al. J Quant Spectrosc Radiat Transf 2010;111:2321] is described. In this new edition, the data sets were constructed using parameters from the 2012 version of the HITRAN database and recent measurements of line-shape parameters. Among other improvements, speed-dependent profiles can now be used if line-mixing is treated within the first order approximation. This new package is tested using laboratory spectra measured in the 2.1μm and 4.3μm spectral regions for various pressures, temperatures and CO2 concentration conditions. Despite improvements at 4.3μm at room temperature, the conclusions on the quality of this update are more ambiguous at low temperature and in the 2.1μm region. Further tests using laboratory and atmospheric spectra are thus required for the evaluation of the performances of this updated package.
