Abstract

Atmospheric spectra of solar radiation, calculated with different data on absorption lines of atmospheric gases are compared with spectra measured with a ground-based high-resolution Fourier-transform spectrometer. The contents of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmospheric column are retrieved from measured spectra with the use of different modern spectroscopic databanks in the direct problem. Values of the methane content in the atmosphere retrieved with the use of two last HITRAN versions are shown to differ almost by 2%; a lower difference was observed for carbon dioxide.
