COMMENTS: | High-resolution spectrum: Spectral resolution in single measurements varied between 0.028 nm at 230 nm and 0.021 nm at 360 nm; in the final spectrum over the entire wavelength range the resolution is somewhat lower (∼0.04 nm) due to later data handling and manipulation 250-353nm(int-c), i.e., averaging of the high-resolution data over the spectral intervals of 500 cm-1 and 5 nm used in atmospheric modelling calculations; intervals No. 80-103: 250.0-253.2, 253.2-256.4,....., 307.7-312.5, 312.5-317.5, ....., 347.5-352.5 nm; first column: center of interval Empirical fit of the temperature dependence (223-323 K): σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) + Γ × (T - 298 K) with the temperature coefficients ----------------------------------------
