Information on resource 'Data for numerical modeling of planetary atmospheres'

Numerical modeling of composition and thermal balance of planetary atmospheres requires a considerable amount of laboratory data. Among them, the absorption cross sections in the UV range are needed both for computing the heating in the atmosphere and the photodissociation coefficients to initiate a rich disequilibrium chemistry. Prompted by these needs in the community and by the sparse collection of data in several other web pages (http://www.science-softcon.de/ or http://satellite.mpic.de/spectral_atlas/index.html whose data depend on some pre-processing before being ingested in these models), this web page aims at providing the community with absorption cross sections in the range 20 nm to 400 nm equally spaced every 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 nm. Also, original data as appearing in the refereed journal and the reference itself are downloadable.
