.. _optical_basspaurquadratic: O3_BASSPAURQUADRATIC ==================== Identical to the :ref:`optical_basspaurlinear` class except the cross-sections are quadratically interpolated in temperature which is more in accordance with recommendations from the associated publications. Wavelength Range ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The table covers the wavelength range 245.0180 to 342.7800 nm in 1956 samples, of approximately 0.05 nm per step. The spectral resolution is better than 0.025 nm. Temperature Range ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Bass-Paur tables provide measurements at 6 temperatures: 1. 203 K 2. 223 K 3. 246 K 4. 273 K 5. 276 K 6. 280 K This object quadratically interpolates cross-sections in temperature as given by the references. Example ^^^^^^^ :: optprop = ISKOpticalProperty('O3_BASSPAURQUADRATIC') msis = ISKClimatology('MSIS90'); mjd = 52393.3792987115; location = [0.0, 0.0, 25000.0, mjd]; optprop.SetAtmosphericState( msis) optprop.SetLocation(location) [ok, abs, ext,sca] = optprop.CalculateCrossSections( 1.0E7/600.0, location ); Data Source ^^^^^^^^^^^ These data are an exact replication of the data files, * bp_203clc.dat * bp_223clc.dat * bp_246clc.dat * bp_273clc.dat * bp_276clc.dat * bp_280clc.dat on the IGACO site, http://igaco-o3.fmi.fi/ACSO/files/cross_sections.
