Abstract
Analysis and calculation show that the wide band absorption coefficient cumulative distribution function varies considerably with the bandwidth. A new method for calculating the cumulative distribution function of water vapor is proposed in this paper, in which the bandwidth is calculated from the modified wide band model and varies with temperature and pressure. In comparison with the narrow band cumulative distribution function, the proposed method is more accurate than the Marin’s method.
