HALOE science investigation

The Halogen Occulation Experiment (HALOE) gas response test simulations were completed using the HALOE spectroscopic instrument model. A new series of programs were written for routine repetitive runs of the spectroscopic model to make it more user friendly for certain studies. Some of the limitations of the model were eased for atmospheric studies. Atmospheric signal profiles were calculated for inclusion in the electronic model programs. Analysis of additional spectral bands of CO2 in the 3 micron region was continued. A program of measurement of the air broadened halfwidths of spectral lines in the nu (sub 3) fundamental band of CH4 was started and over 40 lines measured.
