Need just a bit of help :)

[Robp]

Hi, I'm a first year student doing climatology. I've been given a bit of research to do.

 

Does anyone know of a link to a site that shows the infrared absorption of CO2 and H2O etc? I've looked and can't seem to find a decent site [And the internet at uni doesn't seem to help -.-] But all I find is just pointless pages on CO2 which I've read like 80 times before...

 

Thank you if you can help, but its not majorly important, it'll just help me with my report I'll be starting in a few weeks

Greetings.

 

I found this link wile doing a search for spectrum of hydrogen.

I located some information on the co2 spectrum energies also. I hope this will be helpful in your study.

Take care.

Hi Robp,

 

This site might give you a hand.

It uses this pic from Wiki to show the absorbtion patterns.

 

Climate science is a very wide field and narrowing the search parameters can be a great help. In the case of your specific question a search on "CO2 absorbtion spectrum" will give better results than just "CO2 absorbtion" as it will target the physics rather than just general information.

Thank you both, I think these'll come in very handy.

I think Ill use the latter, as it shows both at sea level, and high atmosphere.

 

Thanking you again
