class sasktran2.optical.O3BirkWagner[source]#

Bases: OpticalDatabaseGenericAbsorber

Tabulated high resolution UV cross-sections of O3 measured by Birk and Wagner.

This database is useful for UV ozone absorption calculations in the Hartley/Huggins region. The raw Zenodo archive contains measured absorption cross sections and uncertainties for six temperatures:

193 K
213 K
233 K
253 K
273 K
293 K

The wavelength grid is common to all six tables and spans approximately 243.9 nm to 346.0 nm. The wavelength grid is used directly as a vacuum wavelength grid; an overlap comparison with the independently vacuum-labelled Serdyuchenko dataset shows the Huggins-band structure is aligned as-is and shifted if an air-to-vacuum conversion is applied. Cross sections are provided by the source files in cm^2/molecule and converted internally to m^2/molecule.

Data Source

The data are from the ESA SEOM-IAS ozone UV absorption cross-section database created by M. Birk and G. Wagner at DLR for improved atmospheric spectroscopy in support of Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI. The source archive also contains uncertainty columns and polynomial coefficients; this class uses the measured tabulated cross sections.

The source files are downloaded from Zenodo record 1485588 when the local NetCDF cache is missing. Downloading requires the optional zenodo-get package, available through the sasktran2[zenodo] extra.
