The CO2 absorption was measured in the 7000 and 8000 cm–1 regions. The absorption coefficients were calculated using the asymptotic line wing shape theory. Line shape parameters were found from fitting to experimental data. The calculation results agree well with the measurement data. According to the line wing theory, the absorption in the band wings is caused by the wings of strong lines of an adjacent band. Within these assumptions, experimental and calculated data on the CO2 absorption coefficient in the band wings in the 7000 and 8000 cm–1 regions can provide information on the line shape at frequency detuning from several tens to several hundreds of half-widths. The results support the hypothesis that line shape parameters in the line wings related to transitions with the same initial state are close to each other. Deviations from a Lorentzian profile are found for some CO2 bands and turn out different for the wings of different bands
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is the English edition of the Russian monthly academic journal Optika Atmosfery i Okeana translated and published by the Institute of Atmospheric Optics.
The Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and ocean optics, ecology, and Earth's climate. The journal's coverage includes: - scattering and transfer of optical waves, - spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, - turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, - adaptive optics, - remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, - methods for solution of inverse problems, - new equipment for optical investigations, - development of computer programs and databases for optical studies.
Specialized issues of the journal regularly present proceedings of regional and international scientific conferences and meetings, such as Siberian Aerosols and Atomic and Molecular Pulsed Lasers (AMPL). Various topical issues are devoted to studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate-ecological monitoring, and other subjects.

We present experimental results on the absorption by CO2-N2 mixtures in the 4.3 μm region. Measurements have been made in the 300–800 K and 0–60 bar ranges; these are in good agreement with previous determinations below 296 K. Frequency- and temperature-dependent factors χ are introduced in order to account for the subLorentzian behavior of the CO2 far line-wings. Their dependences on temperature are deduced from experimental results beyond the 4.3μm band-head in the 193–773 K range for both CO2-CO2 and CO2-N2 and fitted by simple analytical functions. Comparisons are presented between experimental and theoretical spectra on both the low- and high-frequency sides of the band (2100–2600 cm-1 range). It is shown that calculations using χ factors are inaccurate near line-centers at elevated pressures.
