            Ethane PSEUDO-LINELIST

There are two C2H6 pseudo linelists:
c2h6_1350_1496.101
c2h6_2720_3100.101

This Readme deals with the latter only

INTRODUCTION.
This document gives information on a C2H6 pseudo-linelist
derived at JPL in 2009. The linelist was based on 26 spectra
measured by Harrison, Allen, and Bernath at RAL in 2008/9.
These results are now published as:

Jeremy J. Harrison, Nicholas D. C. Allen, and Peter F. Bernath, 
Infrared absorption cross-sections for ethane (C2H6) in the 3 um region, JQSRT, 111, 357363, 2010

The measurement conditions for these spectra are tabulated below.

DESCRIPTION.
The laboratory transmittance spectra were simultaneously
fitted (using the GFIT algorithm) by iteratively adjusting
the strengths and ground-state energies of the pseudo-lines.

Due to the high resolution of the RAL spectra, and the fact that
C2H6 has a descrete spectrum, a non-uniform spectral line spacing
was adopted.
An E"-dependent air broadened halfwidth was used.

A more complete description of this pseudo-linelist can be found at

spectra prior to their publication and inclusion into HITRAN.
