Synthetic monochromatic atmospheric transmittance spectra are presented for infrared intervals in the vicinity of the 15 and 4.3 microns CO2 bands. The intervals are nominally 20 kaysers in width, and the spectra partition the intervals 560, 780 kayser and 2180, 2400 kayser, respectively. The spectra are for a vertical atmospheric path. A given spectrum is presented at that pressure for which the mean weighting function is a maximum. In order to indicate the molecular origin of the features in a given spectrum, separate spectra are also presented for those species which make center line contributions to the absorption over the interval. The transmittance model for the calculations is described. In addition to the representation of spectral features for intervals which comprise these two CO2 bands, the spectra afford a utility in the design of high precision satellite temperature radiometers.
