Abstract :
This paper compares several forms for the absorption line shapes for atmospheric gases as applied to frequencies between 150 and 350 GHz. The contributions of various lines to the absorption in this frequency range are examined. Equations are presented for direct calculation of attenuation as a function of pressure, temperature, and water vapor density.
