Ultraviolet (UV) Absorption Cross-Sections of Atmospheric Gases (UV-BANK)

UV-BANK gives the researcher the ability to calculate ultraviolet spectral absorption and transparency for the constituents and their mixtures. UV-BANK can assist users in developing remote sensing techniques that require quantitative UV absorption spectra.

The data base is indexed by the trace gas, its temperature (in degrees K) at which cross sections have been measured, spectral region, and resolution (in nm). The UV-BANK software allows browsing, both in graphic or tabular modes, of the spectral absorption cross-sections, calculation of UV spectral absorption and transparency. The software includes an on-line help system and was designed using Common User Access standards.
