ExoMol spectral files #9

Closed nichollsh closed 4 months ago

nichollsh commented 4 months ago

The current spectral files were created using line cross-sections from HITRAN2020. However, these are not valid at high temperatures. We should consider using linelists which are valid for up to 3000 K, as it is unknown how much this might impact the radiative fluxes and therefore the MO cooling times.

We can get absorption cross-sections from DACE, they just need to be converted to ESFT k-coefficients for SOCRATES.

I'd also suggest that we move this tool (however it looks in the end) into a new repository.

This is now possible using the spectraltools/ scripts in this external repository: nichollsh/SOCRATES.

It is possible to download cross-sections from DACE, convert them to the appropriate format, and fit k-terms with SOCRATES. This can be done for a variety of gases, wavenumber resolutions, and CIA combinations.
