DATAFILE: CH2O_ChanceOrphal(2011)_298.15K_300-360nm(rec).txt
NAME: formaldehyde, methanal
FORMULA: CH2O
AUTHOR(YEAR): ChanceOrphal(2011)
T: 298.15K
λ: 300-360nm(rec)
BIBLIOGRAPHY: K. Chance and J. Orphal, "Revised ultraviolet absorption cross sections of H2CO for the HITRAN database", J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 112, 1509-1510 (2011); DOI: 10.1016/j.jqsrt.2011.02.002
COMMENTS: Revised absorption cross sections, recommended for use in atmospheric measurements and modeling, calculated using the relation

σ(T) = A + B × (T - 273.15)

and the listed parameters A and B (see the data file for T = 223.15-293.15 K and 300-385 nm)
