SIMPLIFICATION OF THE OXYGEN-ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT FORMULA IN MICROWAVE BAND

Study of the oxygen-absorption coefficient in 5mm wave band is important for remote sensing of the atmospheric temperature profile from satellites or ground.In order to obtain the atmospheric temperature profile rapidly and accurately,it is necessary to have a simple,but accurate formula of the oxygen-absorption coefficient.In this paper,formulae of the oxygen-absorption coefficient in a certain range of temperature-pressure and at a standard isobaric surface have been derived.These formulae may substitute for Meeks-Lilley formula in remote sensing of the atmosphere.
