Abstract

Pressure-broadened linewidths of the 4 13-4 04, 6 15-6 06, 14 3 11-15 2 14, and 28 5 23-29 4 26 rotational transitions of ozone have been measured for the foreign gases N 2 and O 2 over a pressure range of 200–1000 m Torr. The temperature dependence of the broadening has been measured for the 4 13-4 04 and 6 15-6 06 transitions over the range 195–320 K. The air-broadened linewidth of the 6 15-6 06 transition was measured at 294 K and is readily calculated for other temperatures and transitions from the N 2 and O 2 results. The results are compared with recent theoretical calculations, and also with previous measurements, where these are available. The measurements have direct application to the interpretation of observations of microwave emission of middle atmosphere ozone. The results also serve as reference points for theoretical linewidth calculations applicable from the microwave to the infrared spectral regions.
