GOSAT-2009 methane spectral line list in the 5550-6236 cm−1 range

A methane spectral line list for the 5550-6236 cm−1 range with the intensity cut off 4×10−26 cm/molecule at 296 K is presented. The line list is based on new extensive measurements of methane spectral line parameters performed at different temperatures and pressures of methane and buffer gases N2, O2 and air. This spectral line list is prepared in HITRAN-2008 format and contains the following spectral line parameters of about 11,000 lines: position, intensity, energy for lower state (where possible), air-broadening and air-shifting coefficients, exponent of temperature dependence of air-broadening coefficient and self-broadening coefficient.
