Abstract:
The pressure induced broadening of a series of pure rotational transitions of ozone have been measured as a function of temperature. Results of experiments are compared with calculations employing the complex semiclassical theory of Robert and Bonamy. This set of rotational transitions is the dominant feature of the millimeter and submillimeter ozone spectra to be measured in the upcoming EOS-MLS mission.
