Line parameters of the oxygen A band and calculation of the atmospheric transmission functions for the A, B, and γ bands

Self- and nitrogen-broadened absorptions of the oxygen A band have been measured using a long pathlength, multiple-traversal absorption cell. Comparison of measured band absorptions with values calculated from the line parameters determined by several investigators under high resolution shows that the line intensities and half-widths reported by Miller, Giver, and Boese provide the best agreement with our data. Atmospheric transmissions for the oxygen A, B, and γ bands have been evaluated by line-by-line integration for these line parameters.
