The microwave spectrum of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere

Abstract: Space probe techniques open the possibility of radio and microwave spectroscopic investigations of planetary atmospheres through the study of resonant transitions in gaseous constituents. Computations were undertaken to determine the opacity and the thermal emission produced by the millimeter-wavelength complex of oxygen lines in the earth's atmosphere. The calculations predict line profiles of individual oxygen transitions in emission or in absorption against the sun. Potential experimental observation height… Show more

“…21 by the dashed lines. Detailed calculations for this region have been made by Meeks and Lilley (49). Figure 21, and the comparable results of other calculations (46,47), cannot be used for radar targets that are within the troposphere.…”

“…Large discrepancies were found with experimental data from about 25 sources that required adjustment with empirical factors for the 15-60GHz and the 60-300GHz regimes. The results from Barrett (1962) and Gaut (1968) for water vapor, and Meeks (1963) for oxygen were used, since the empirically corrected model came close to these.…”
