Efficient computation of some speed-dependent isolated line profiles

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper provides FORTRAN subroutines for the calculation of the partially-Correlated quadratic-Speed-Dependent Hard-Collision (pCqSDHC) profile and of its two limits: the quadratic-Speed-Dependent Voigt (qSDV) and the quadratic-Speed-Dependent Hard-Collision (qSDHC) profiles. Numerical tests successfully confirm the analytically derived fact that all these profiles can be expressed as combinations of complex Voigt probability functions. Based on a slightly improved version of the CPF subroutine [Humlicek. J Quant Spectrosc Radiat Transfer 1979;21:309] for the calculation of the complex probability function, we show that the pCqSDHC, qSDHC and qSDV profiles can be quickly calculated with an accuracy better than 10-4.
