Spectroscopic Atlas of Atmoshperic Microwindows in the Middle Infra-Red
This second edition of the infrared microwindow atlas contains a collection of spectral mi- crowindows commonly used or recently suggested for ground-based, high resolution, infrared solar absoption spectroscopy. These solar observations are aimed at quantifying the abun- dance of trace species in t...

This second edition of the infrared microwindow atlas contains a collection of spectral mi- crowindows commonly used or recently suggested for ground-based, high resolution, infrared solar absoption spectroscopy. These solar observations are aimed at quantifying the abun- dance of trace species in the terrestrial atmosphere. A microwindow is a narrow spectral interval that allows to observe a specific atmospheric absorber unambiguously. The width of a microwindow may vary but is typically between 0.1 and 5cm−1 wide, though wider windows may in some cases be used or multiple narrow windows may be combined in any particular retrieval. The spectra and corresponding simulations shown in the figures are representing solar absorption spectra recorded in Arctic Scandinavia on 15/Mar/1997 (500 to 4370cm −1 ) and 01/Apr/1998 (3950 to 9000cm−1 ). The printed atlas discusses close to 250 microwindows.
