Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) Aircraft Data for the Continuum Absorption in the Visible and Infrared and its Atmospheric Relevance (CAVIAR) project

The Continuum Absorption in the Visible and Infrared and its Atmospheric Relevance (CAVIAR) campaign will use instruments on board the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft to determine the strength and temperature dependence of the water vapour continuum over a range of wavelengths. In doing so, the aim is to determine whether water vapour dimers, or the far wings of monomer lines, or a combination of both, are responsible for the continuum absorption, and put the continuum on a more secure theoretical footing.
