GEISA: Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques ; Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information
THE GEISA SYSTEM: Three SUB-DATABASES and ASSOCIATED MANAGEMENT SOFTWARES
(For each sub-database)
GENERAL CONTEXT
The ARA (Atmospheric Radiation Analysis) group at LMD has been engaged,
during the past three decades, in the development of GEISA, a computer-accessible
spectroscopic database, designed to facilitate accurate and fast forward calculations
of atmospheric radiative transfer using a line-by-line and (atmospheric) layer-by-layer
approach.
The performance of the second generation vertical sounding, high-resolution, sophisticated
infrared spectroscopic instruments, such as AIRS (http://www.airs.jpl.nasa.gov/) in the USA
and IASI (http://earth-ciences.cnes.fr/IASI/) in Europe, will highly depend on the accuracy
in the spectroscopic parameters of the optically active atmospheric gases, since suchdata
constitute an essential input in the forward models that are used to interpret the recorded
spectral radiances.

FROM CONCLUSIONS OF VALIDATION WITH THE 4A-00/LMD MODEL
FOR IASI RADIATIVE TRANSFER MODELLING
The water vapour spectroscopic parameters: still need to be validated
The water vapour continuum: more tuning to be done when more validation data
(especially with high water vapor content) become available
The freons bands at 850 and 920 cm-1: refine the temperature dependence
O3 in the 9.6 μm region: the spectroscopic parameters still need to be validated
Some CO2 – Q,P and R branches: further improvement/tuning of the line mixing
NEEDS IN SPACE STUDIES OF OUTER PLANETS AND TITAN
(Courtesy of Athena Coustenis and Bruno Bézard)
Hydrocarbons:
CH4 in the near-infrared region (from 0.8 to 5 μm) both from theory and laboratory measurements
C6H2: (at 642 cm-1) this band is being studied by Jolly and Bénilan
C2H6: need of the spectroscopic parameters for the 1400-1500 cm-1 band (observed on Jupiter & Titan)
GEISA implemented on the Ether (CNRS/CNES) Products
and Services Centre (CPS)
http://ether.ipsl.jussieu.fr
Also:
for molecules heavier than C2H6 (like C6H2, HC5N, there’s still few data)
C3H8: needs in all bands except at 748 cm-1 , in particular the one at 1150 cm-1
C3H4 (allene)
C6H6 benzene
C4H2 : for the band at 628 cm-1 it would require a global analysis (like the one for HC3N and C4N2) to
identify all the hot bands (some work is being done by Bénilan and Jolly, based on a re-analysis of data by Arié)
