Description
Summary:Calculations of the CO2-broadening coefficients of sulfur oxide lines by the semi-empirical method [Mol. Phys. 102 (2004) 1653] and averaged energy difference method [Atmosph. Ocean. Optics 28 (2015) 403] are presented. In this work, 41 lines are considered, the rotational quantum number J varies from 14 to 51. Calculations of the line widths are carried out for room temperature (296 K), and also for the temperature range typical for the Ears atmosphere. There is good agreement with the literature data. The carbon dioxide lines broadening coefficients induced by nitrogen, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at room temperature (T = 296 K) are obtained for a wide range of the rotational quantum number J (up to 100). The temperature exponents are calculated for every line widths. The calculations were performed by a semi-empirical method, based on the semiclassical impact theory of line broadening and modified by introducing additional correction factor whose parameters can be determined by fitting the broadening or shifting coefficients to the experimental data.
