López-Puertas et al. 1998

López-Puertas, M., Zaragoza, G., López-Valverde, M.Á. and Taylor, F.W. (1998). Non local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) atmospheric limb emission at 4.6 µm: 1. An update of the CO₂ non-LTE radiative transfer model. Journal of Geophysical Research 103: doi: 10.1029/98JD00209. issn: 0148-0227.

An update of the CO2 non local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) radiative transfer model of L¿pez-Puertas et al. <1986a,b> is presented. The major improvements are (1) a revision of the modified Curtis matrix method; (2) a significant extension of the CO2 vibrational levels and bands (the current version includes 76 states and 129 transitions); and (3) a revision of the excitation mechanisms and collisional parameters. The major differences with previous results are discussed. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
