The oxygen (O2) A-band is used to determine the airmass in ground- and space-based remote sensing measurements because O2 is well-mixed in the Earth’s atmosphere and its column-integrated amount fraction on a dry-gas basis is nearly constant. Because biases in the retrieved airmass propagate to measurements of target species, low-uncertainty spectroscopic parameters are essential for increasingly precise and accurate greenhouse gas measurements. However, laboratory measurements and atmospheric retrievals of this O2 band typically neglect the line-shape effects caused by collisions with argon (Ar), which comprises 0.934 % by volume of the Earth’s atmosphere. To quantify the contribution of Ar to O2 A-band air-broadening line-shape parameters, we measured pressure broadening and shifting parameters for ten high J lines in the P-branch of this band. These data were acquired in the laboratory over a range of pressures and nitrogen (N2), O2, and Ar amount fractions using cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Respective line-shape parameters for these collisional partners were determined with a multi-spectrum fitting algorithm. These results were combined with literature data to provide an empirical model for the rotational dependencies of the broadening and shifting parameters by each collisional partner. Incorporating these results into analyses of atmospheric column-integrated solar absorption spectra in the O2 A-band shows that the neglect of Ar can lead to a small but potentially relevant systematic bias in surface pressure retrievals and a slight increase in the fit residuals of atmospheric spectra.

In this work, we propose a novel three-dimensional semi-empirical formula for the estimation of K-shell X-ray fluorescence cross sections for a wide range of elements based on the database of the experimental values published between 1985 and 2023 for photons spanning from 5.46 to 123.6 keV (over 3300 data). This approach employs an analytical dependent on the atomic number Z and the energy E. Subsequently, the ratio are fitted using a three-dimension polynomial function, in terms of the atomic number Z and energy E. The cross-sections were described as the product of two functions, the first is a polynomial that represents the weighted mean of cross-sections values across different conditions and the second function provides additional fitting to the cross-section based on atomic numbers Z and energy E. The cross-sections expressed as function of these two variables show reasonable agreement with the experimental values.

A Surface Integral Equation (SIE) method has been implemented to analyze light scattering by arbitrarily shaped solid dielectric particles. Specifically, the Poggio–Miller–Chang–Harrington–Wu–Tsai formulation is discretized using the Galerkin method, employing Rao–Wilton–Glisson basis functions. The numerical solution is further accelerated through the application of the high-frequency Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA). This MLFMA-accelerated SIE solution demonstrates efficiency for homogeneous particles with moderately rough surfaces, even in the absence of advanced preconditioning techniques and broadband MLFMA. Notably, as the number of unknowns scales with the surface area, the SIE solution offers a distinct advantage over traditional volumetric methods, such as the discrete-dipole approximation and finite-element methods, where the number of unknowns scales with the volume of the scatterer. The SIE method is employed to investigate light scattering by homogeneous particles with rough surfaces, and the results are compared to the geometric optics approximation. It is demonstrated that the geometric optics approximation yields poor accuracy for particles with self-affine surface roughness.

In this paper, the range of low-frequency microwave radar going through sand storms is numerically investigated with considering the attenuation and backscattering of charged sand grains along the link. It was found that strong sandstorms can reduce the range of microwave radar, which is reduced by < 5 % for radars at the L and S bands when the visibility is larger than 50 m; while with the visibility of 10 m, the radar range at the L(1.215G Hz), S(3 GHz), and X(10 GHz) bands is reduced by 27.69 %, 31.90 % and 89.69 %. The charges carried by sand grains increase the reduction. Due to the scattering of radar waves by sand grains along the link, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will decrease with the radar detection distance. Near the radar system, SNR decreases rapidly due to the strong attenuation of sand storms, which will cause a detection blind zone near the radar systems, which is related to the visibility, the RCS, and radar frequency. Charges carried on sand grains reduce the SNR to expand the blind zone in sandstorms. Given the target, it is necessary to increase the radar frequency or reduce the minimum detectable SNR of a radar system to avoid the detection blind zone near the radar.

High accurate ro-vibrational spectra of CD were measured in the pentad region with a Bruker IFS125 HR Fourier transform infrared (IR) spectrometer at an optical resolution of 0.003 cm−1 and different pressures and optical path-lengths. The analysis of 1264 experimental absolute transition strengths belonging to all nine ro-vibrational sub-bands of the CD pentad was performed using the Voigt profile to simulate the measured line shape and to determine experimental line intensities. A set of 10 parameters was obtained from the weighted fit analysis of experimental data in the frame of the model of an effective dipole moment operator of the CD pentad. The obtained set of 10 effective dipole moment parameters reproduces the initial 1264 absolute transition strengths with the d. A line list of the studied experimental ro-vibrational transitions up to is presented in the Supplementary data to this paper.

Absorption cross-sections at room temperature have been derived for two non-cyclic organic molecules cyanopropyne (CH3C3N) and isobutyronitrile (i-C3H7CN), and have been proposed for the 2024 update of the high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database (HITRAN). The gas phase infrared spectra of pure cyanopropyne and isobutyronitrile have been recorded at room temperature between 160 and 3500 cm-1 (3–60 µm) using an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer. The spectral resolution has been chosen equal to 0.056 cm-1. For the 18–20 µm spectral region an additional resolution equal to 0.01 cm-1 has been used. Among the various absorption bands observed, some of them, as the ν10 band of cyanopropyne around 500 cm-1 (20 µm), are particularly interesting for detecting and quantifying these molecules in astrophysical objects. As a first application, the retrieved absorption cross-sections have been used in a radiative transfer code to simulate observations of Titan's stratosphere acquired using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES at the Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF, Mauna Kea Observatory). We discuss preliminary results and perspectives, among which estimated upper limits of 3 × 10–9 for cyanopropyne and 3 × 10–7 for isobutyronitrile in Titan's stratosphere.

It has been recently demonstrated that the electromagnetic beam shape coefficients ( or ) which encode the structure of structured light beams may be expressed in terms of scalar, more specifically acoustical, beam shape coefficients. Because the technique used to obtain the relevant expressions relied on the properties of what is known as the finite series method, the aforementioned expressions were different, depending on whether is even or odd. For a reason discussed in the bulk of the paper, it became obvious that the expressions obtained for different parities of could be unified. Proceeding to such an unification, the expressions previously published were not only unified, but furthermore simplified, then allowing for an easier and less time-consuming numerical implementation.
