Determining rotational temperatures from the OH(8-3) band, and a comparison with OH(6-2) rotational temperatures at Davis, Antarctica

Rotational temperatures derived from the OH(8–3) band may vary by ~18K depending on the choice of transition probabilities. This is of concern when absolute temperatures or trends determined in combination with measurements of other hydroxyl bands are important. In this paper, measurements of the...
