| COMMENTS: | Absorption measurements using a one-meter Ebert-Fastie spectrophotometer, photomultiplier detectors with Ag-O-Ca photocathodes for the near IR, and tri-alkali photocathodes for the visible spectral region, and an argon-filled concentrated arc zirconium lamp as a light source
Absorption coefficients in km-1 amagat-1 (base e) listed at 1-nm intervals in Table I have been converted to absorption cross sections (conversion factor 3.72×10-25)
The data for the 440-480-nm region were derived from the equivalent widths and the shapes of the bands published by
B.L. Lutz, T. Owen and R.D. Cess, Laboratory band strengths of methane and their application to the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Titan, Astrophys. J. 283 (1976) 541-551; DOI: 10.1086/154110
