COMMENTS: JPL-2015 recommendation:

170-258 nm, data of

D. Gillotay, A. Jenouvrier, B. Coquart, M.F. Mérienne, and P.C. Simon, "Ultraviolet absorption cross-section of bromoform in the temperature range 295-240 K," Planet. Space Sci. 37, 1127-1140 (1989); DOI: 10.1016/0032-0633(89)90084-6,

260-350 nm, parameterization of

D.K. Papanastasiou, S.A. McKeen, and J.B. Burkholder, "The very short-lived ozone depleting substance CHBr3 (bromoform): revised UV absorption spectrum, atmospheric lifetime and ozone depletion potential", Atmos. Chem. Phys. 14, 3017-3025 (2014); DOI: 10.5194/acp-14-3017-2014

The parameterization of the temperature dependence of Papanastasiou et al. (2014) is recommended for the wavelength range 260–345 nm for temperatures in the range 260–330 K:

log10 (σ(λ,T)) = ∑i Ai λi + (296 – T) × ∑i Bi λi

with the following parameters Ai and Bi:

------------------------------------------------
i    Ai       Bi
------------------------------------------------

0  -32.6067     0.1582
1   0.10308    -0.0014758
2   6.39×10-5    3.8058×10-6
3  -7.7392×10-7  -9.187×10-10
4  -2.2513×10-9    -1.0772×10-11
5   6.1376×10-12

The parameterization of Gillotay et al.(1989) is recommended for wavelengths <260 nm:

log10 σ(λ, T)) = ∑An λn + (T–273) × ∑Bnλn

with the following parameters An and Bn:

A0 = –110.2782     B0 = –1.5312 × 10–1
A1 = 1.0281       B1 = 1.6109 × 10–3
A2 = –3.6626 × 10–3   B2 = –5.8075 × 10–6
A3 = 4.1226 × 10–6     B3 = 7.2893 × 10–9

is recommended
