Absorption cross-section measurements of water vapor in the wavelength region 181 199 nm

Abstract Laboratory measurements of the relative absorption cross-sections of H 2 O at the temperature 295 K have been made throughout the wavelength region 181–199 nm. Laboratory measurements of the absolute absorption cross-sections of H 2 O at 295 K have been made at 15 different wavelengths, and these absolute values have been used to put the relative cross-section measurements of H 2 O at 295 K on an absolute basis, In combination with our previous measurements [Chem. Phys. 211 (1996) 387; 215 (1997) 429], the absorption cross-section of H 2 O are available in the wavelength region 118–199 nm at 295 K.
