  7. Strongest IR band which coincides with a window of transparency of the atmosphere Region of 3.6µm (n1 & n5bands) Used for reliable portable IR environmental sensing of H2CO on ground-based, aircraft & satellite platforms…… Fourier transform spectroscopy[Yokelson et al, Rinsland et al] Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy[Fried et al.] Difference-frequency –generation lasers (DFG) Instruments [Friedfeld, Fraser, Rehle, Curl , Richter, Tittel…] Cavity leak-out spectroscopy using CO –sideband laser [Dahnler et al ]. Presently: used by ACE (FTS instrument) onboard of the SCISAT satellite (Gaëlle Dufour and Peter Bernarth, Ch.Boone & co workers from the ACE team)

  8. HITRAN: status of formaldehyde in the IR 3.6 µm 5.7 µm 3.6 µm: the HITRAN linelist ((2700-3000 cm-1) for H2CO was generated several years ago using, as input, the historical work of Linda Brown [Brown79]. This HITRAN linelist is incomplete, incoherent (errors on the relative intensities) [Brown79]. Brown, Hunt & Pine, J. Mol Spectrosc. 75, 406 (1979)

  9. Status of the HITRAN linelist at 3.6 µm for H2CO Calc LADIR LPMA CH3Cl Calc in 2006 Perrin, Valentin, Daumont J. Mol. Struct (2006)

  10. The list in HITRAN is incomplete, incoherent (errors on the relative intensities)

  11. Goal of this work • Both the 5.7 µm and 3.6 µm bands are used for the retrieval of H2CO in the atmosphere (MIPAS & ACE). • The goal is to have accurate and reliable linelists (position, intensity, line shape parameters) in both spectral regions …. But we generated recently two lists at 5.7 µm and 3.6 µm ….[Perr3,Kwab07,Perrr06] 5.7µm: [Perr03] Perrin, Keller, Flaud J Mol Spectrosc 2003;221:192-198, 5.7µm:[Kwab07] Kwabia Tchana , Perrin & Lacome , J Mol Spectrosc 2007;245:141 3.6 µm[Perrr06] Perrin, Valentin and Daumont J of Mol Struct 2006;780-782:28-44.

  12. These two line lists [Kwabia07, Perrin03] at 5.7 µm and [Perrin06] at 3.6 µm respectively… need to be validated. Quality of the line positions: achieved mainly from analyses of high resolution FTS spectra (LADIR, LPMAA, GSMA)  depends on the complexity of the theoretical model… 5.7µm: [Perr03] Perrin, Keller, Flaud J Mol Spectrosc 2003;221:192-198, 5.7µm:[Kwab07] Kwabia Tchana , Perrin & Lacome , J Mol Spectrosc 2007;245:141 3.6 µm[Perr06] Perrin, Valentin and Daumont J of Mol Struct 2006;780-782:28-44.

  13. 5.7 µm : the strong n2 band (at 1746 cm-1) 3 dark bands (n3, n4 and n6 ) 3.6 µm: the strong n1& n5bands  9 dark bands Quality of the line positions The Hamiltonian matrix accounts for A-type Coriolis,B-type Coriolis, C-type Coriolis, Anharmonic type interactions Rather good (althouth not perfect) for the 3.6 µm region. Difficult calculation Excellent line positions at 5.7 µm 5.7µm: [Perr03] Perrin, Keller, Flaud J Mol Spectrosc 2003;221:192-198, 5.7µm:[Kwab07] Kwabia Tchana , Perrin & Lacome , J Mol Spectrosc 2007;245:141 3.6 µm[Perr06] Perrin, Valentin and Daumont J of Mol Struct 2006;780-782:28-44.

  14. Quality of the intensities for the linelists at 5.7 µm & 3.6µm for H2CO: In Refs [Perr03, Kwab03, Perr06] the intensity calculations were performed usingonly experimental intensity data collected in the literature. (1) Band intensity measurements (low or medium resolution in 1600-3100cm-1) coverning simultaneously both the 5.7 µmand3.6 µm regions Intercomparison ??? (2) Individual line intensities at 3.6 µm 5.7µm: [Perr03] Perrin, Keller, Flaud J Mol Spectrosc 2003;221:192-198, 5.7µm:[Kwab07] Kwabia Tchana , Perrin & Lacome , J Mol Spectrosc 2007;245:141 3.6 µm[Perr06] Perrin, Valentin and Daumont J of Mol Struct 2006;780-782:28-44.

  15. How from line by line intensity mesurements (at 3.6 µm ) can we deduce « band intensities at 3.6 µm » and perform Intercomparaison of the band intensities (5.7 µm 3.6 µm)????? • Use a good theoretical model which is able to reproduce the individual line intensities in the overall spectral range • Compute a « synthetic spectrum » (list of line positions and intensities) • Sum the individual line intensities in the spectral range covered by the absorbing band • Account correctly from the contributions from the hot bands and for the minor isotopic species Uneasy… but possible !!: It is necessary to compute the « total » band intensity. For this goal one must:

  17. 2- Individual line intensities in the literature (at 3.6 µm only) At 3.6 µm: the extensive set of individual line intensities measured by Brown et al. [Brown79] HITRAN : the intensities from Brown-79 were used as a starting point for the generation of the HITRAN linelist at 3.6 µm) . This set of individual line intensities [Brown79] was also used in the 3.6 µm linelist of Ref. [Perr06] [Perr06] Perrin, Valentin and Daumont J of Mol Struct 2006;780-782:28-44.

  20. Intensities at 3.6 µm • The individual line intensities generated several years ago by Linda Brown & coworkers [BROW79] lead to intensities about 30% weaker than those achieved from recent band intensities measurements Sorry Linda !!  [BROW-79: Brown, Hunt, & Pine J Mol Spect 75 406 (1979),

  26. Line intensity measurements and calculations • A large set of individual line intensities were measured in both the 5.7 µm and 3.6 µm regions using the multifit program developed at LPMAA • From these intensities the expansion of the transition moment operators of the expansion of the transitions moments operators for the n2, n3, n4 and n6 bands at 5.7 µm(resp. 2n4, n4+n6, 2n6, n3+n4, n3+n6, n1, n5, n2+n4, 2n3, n2+n6 and n2+n3bands at3.6 µm). • The calculations account for the various vibration- rotation resonances

All these atmospheric measurements which were retrieved using HITRAN lead to an overestimation of H2CO of 28 %

  37. H2CO: N2 -broadening studies at 5.7µmand 3.6 µm (See David Jacquemart) No evidence of a vibrational dependence(5.7µm3.6 µm) Evidence of a J- and Ka rotational dependence of the linewidths Validation and calculations are under process (see David Jacquemart & Bob Gamache)

  38. Conclusion • Using new FTS spectra recorded at high resolution in the 1600-3100 cm-1 spectral range at LADIR a large set of line intensities were measured. • It was possible to determine the absolute intensities both in the 5.7 µm and 3.6 µm regions • The intensities are now coherent in both spectral regions • N2- and -self line broadening parameters were measured. Calculations are under process.
