Absorption cross section measurements of water vapor in the wavelength region 120 to 188 nm Original Research Article

Laboratory measurements of the relative absorption cross sections of H2O at the temperature 295 K have been made throughout the wavelength region 120 to 188 nm. Laboratory measurements of the absolute absorption cross sections of H2O at 295 K have been made at 19 different wavelengths in the region 120 to 188 nm, and these absolute values have been used to put the relative cross section measurements of H2O at 295 K on an absolute basis.
