Abstract

The study of thespectral parameters, and their variations with temperature and pressure, ofmethane lines is important for the remote sensing of atmospheres [1].Methane is a minor component of the terrestrial atmosphere and his impact isimportant (methane is the third most abundant greenhouse gas [2]).Furthermore, methane is also present in the atmosphere of others planets [3-5]and stellar objects [6,7].

 

In this work,the collisional shift of absorption lines in the ν3 band of methanehas been measured for several high temperatures (up to 600 K). This studyhas been made with a two-beams tunable diode-laser spectrometer.

 

The collisionalline shift has been determined using a procedure described elsewhere [8].So far we know, there is not a general law for the temperature dependence ofthe collisional line shift commonly used in the literature [9]. Knowingthat, different laws have been tested to determine the temperature dependenceof the line shift. The observations will be discussed.
