Cross Sections / Oxygen / O2 / Thompson(1963)_298K_186-203nm

DATAFILE: O2_Thompson(1963)_298K_186-203nm.txt
NAME: oxygen
FORMULA: O2
AUTHOR(YEAR): Thompson(1963)
T: 298K
λ: 186-203nm
BIBLIOGRAPHY: B.A. Thompson, P. Harteck, and R.R. Reeves, Jr., "Ultraviolet absorption coefficients of CO2, CO, H2O, N2O, NH3, NO, SO2, and CH4 between 1850 and 4000 Å", J. Geophys. Res. 68, 6431-6436 (1963); DOI: 10.1029/JZ068i024p06431
COMMENTS: Absorption measurements with a Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometer able to measure absorption coefficients k as low as 10-4 cm-1 (~4×10-24 cm2 molecule-1)

Absorption coefficients k (atm, 273K)-1 cm-1 (base e) plotted in Fig. 3 have been digitized and converted to absorption cross sections (conversion factor 3.72×10-20)
