Abstract
Quantitative measurements of intensities and half-widths have been made for individual rotational lines of the atmospheric oxygen A-band. The total band intensity, as derived from the line intensity measurements, is 532 cm -1 km -1 atm -1 STP. The line half-widths at half intensity were determined by two methods for the P Q and P P branch lines and are found to vary from about 0.05 cm -1 atm -1 near the origin to 0.04 cm -1 atm -1 for high K″ values. The rotational intensity distribution is demonstrated to conform more closely to the theoretical Hönl-London factors calculated by either Schlapp or by Watson rather than those found experimentally by Childs and Mecke.
