Abstract
Collision-induced absorption (CIA) cross-sections of oxygen have been measured in the UV, Visible and near-IR regions from spectra recorded by Fourier Transform Spectroscopy at different pressures and room temperature. An extensive cross-sections dataset from 42000 to 7500 cm−1 (238–1330 nm) is presented. The separation procedure of the discrete and diffuse absorption features is described. Pressure and foreign gas effects are discussed, and a comparison with literature data is shown. A preliminary test on the influence of the choice of the dataset on atmospheric retrievals of O2, O3, BrO, and OClO is performed.
