Abstract: | Over the past decade the National Physical Laboratory has been using the method of far-infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy to determine the composition of the upper atmosphere(1,2) In support of this work we have developed a computer program(3) which enables us to calculate theoretical atmospheric spectra using as input data the spectral line positions, strengths and half-widths and appropriate atmospheric profiles of temperature and mixing ratio. This paper presents the results of some recent calculations using this program. |
