Abstract
Chlorine monoxide (ClO) is thought to play an important role in a photochemical cycle which causes the destruction of ozone in the earth's stratosphere. Since lines of the (1,0) fundamental of ClO lie near C-14O2-16, laser lines, IR heterodyne spectroscopy is potentially an important technique for monitoring the ClO abundance. However, due to the presence of lines from other trace atmospheric gases in this spectral range, the interpretation of such observations is ambiguous unless high resolution laboratory measurements support the identifications. Measured frequencies are reported for spectral lines of seven trace atmospheric gases which absorb near the C-14O2-16 laser transitions relevant to the detection of ClO by IR heterodyne spectroscopy.
