Outline
As a starting point, we relied on the results of our 2013 analysis$ to generate a list of line positions and relative line intensities for the 7.6 µm region of the spectrum of nitric acid (H14NO3)
This 2013 linelist (prepared in the “HITRAN” format includes for H14NO3:
=> the n3 and n4 cold bands, the 2n6, 3n9, n5+n9, n7+n8 dark bands,
=> the n3+n9–n9 hot band

23. Conclusion Financial supports: ESA-ESRIN through a MIPAS contract
Improved line positions and intensities have been generated for the 7.6 µm spectral region of nitric acid. They were obtained relying on:
A recent reinvestigation of the nitric acid band system at 7.6 µm, followed by calibration of the intensities using:
Line intensity measurements in laboratory conditions
Validation using the PNNL cross sections
Comparisons of HNO3 concentration profiles retrieved from “Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding” (MIPAS) limb mission radiances in the 11 and 7.6 mm domains.
