COMMENTS: Absorption measurements at 243, 253, 263, 273, 298, 313, and 333K with a spectral resolution of 0.6nm (FWHM) using a diode array spectrometer

Calculated absorption cross sections using the values measured at 298 K, the equation

ln σ(T) = ln σ (298K) + B × (T - 298),

and the temperature coefficients B (243-333 K):
