The shape of the far wings of self-broadened CO2 lines has been
investigated in the spectral region (2140–2250 cm−1),
i.e., on the low wavenumber side of the lines of the most intense band
(ν3 of
12C16O2). The experimental results have
been compared to calculated values based on the AFGL 1982 compilation. From this
comparison it appears that the wings of the lines on the low wavenumber side of
the centers decay much more rapidly than do Lorentz lines, by about the same
amount as has been previously shown for the high wavenumber side. However, an
asymmetrical correcting line shape factor is needed to obtain good agreement
between experimental and synthetic spectra.
