SO2 Absorption Cross-section Measurement in the UV using a Fourier Transform Spectrometer

Absorption cross sections of SO2 have been recorded at 295 K at the resolutions of 2 and 16 cm−1. The 27000- to 40000-cm−1 spectral region has been investigated. The comparison with data available from the literature shows a good agreement between the different data sets (less than 5%). However, local discrepancies, for example at the peaks of absorption, can reach 20%.
