Abstract

•FORTRAN subroutines of some speed-dependent profiles are provided.•These profiles can be expressed as combinations of the complex probability function.•They can be accurately calculated with reasonable computer cost.

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.
