absorption_cia_data

Workspace.absorption_cia_data: ArrayOfCIARecord

HITRAN Collision-Induced Absorption (CIA) Data.

This variable holds HITRAN CIA data (binary absorption cross-sections). The data itself is described in Richard et al. [26].

The binary absorption cross-sections have to be multiplied with the densities of both molecules to get a scalar absorption coefficient.

Dimensions:

The length of this array should be equal to the number of pairs of molecules that have CIA data available. Some methods that split the data might not work as intended otherwise.

See also Collision-induced Absorption for more information on CIA calculations.
