Improvements to the algorithm for computing CO2 transmissivities and cooling rates
Abstract
A new interpolation algorithm is derived for obtaining CO2 15-μm transmissivities at any pressure from tables of transmission functions at standard pressures. The new method is a revision of the Fels-Schwarzkopf (1981) technique. Improvements to the standard transmissivity tables are also discussed. An extension of these methods to calculate transmissivities at CO2 concentrations other than those used for the tables is described.
