Atmospheric radiative transfer simulation in water vapor total content retrievals using different spectroscopic databanks of H2O absorption line parameters

Resumo

Simulation results for atmospheric absorption spectra of solar radiation in spectral intervals, where measurement of H₂O content can be carried out, are presented. A comparison with the measured atmospheric transmission spectra of solar radiation is made. The water vapor total column is retrieved from the measured atmospheric spectra with the use of different spectroscopic databanks of H₂O absorption lines under various atmospheric conditions and solar zenith angles.
