rtag: v3-7

Added BrO to cross section files (BROAT1, BROBT1). case-sensitive changes to CCl2FCH3 and CH3CClF2 (RFMIP corrections)

rtag: v3-5

Added HITRAN12 PAN cross section files (PANAT1, PANAT2, PANAT3, PANBT1, PANBT3).

rtag: v1-4

Used HITRAN12 to build XS for HFC-32 and PNNL data for HFC-23. Note that HFC-23 only has spectroscopic data at 1 atm.


rtag: v1-3

Used HITRAN12 to add cross section data for: SO2_UV, HCFC0141b, HCF-142b, HFC-22, HFC-123, HFC-124, HFC-225ca, HFC-225b, HFC-125, HFC-134a,
HFC-143a, HFC-152a, isoprene

rtag: v1-2

* Use HITRAN 2000 data for ClONO2. (LBLRTM is not currently equipped to use H04.)

* Updated mistakes  in the FSCDXS file for ClONO2 and CClF3.

rtag: v1-1

* Add new cross-sections to the archive (acetone, PAN, CH3CN).  The acetone data was 
derived by A. Waterfall (Thesis, 2003); PAN and CH3CN were obtained from HITRAN 2008.

rtag: v1-0

* Establish the cross-section archive.  These cross-sections have been used with LBLRTM v11.8 and earlier releases.  

* The cross section data for HNO3, N2O5, HNO4, and CCL4 is from Massie, S.T., Goldman, A., Murcray, D.G., and Gille, J.C., 1985, 
"Aproximate Absorption Cross Sections of F12. F11, CLoNO2, N2O5, HNO3, CCl4, CF4, F21, F113, F114, and HNO4", 
NCAR Technical Note NCAR/TN-258+STR, NCAR, Boulder, CO.   

* The cross-section data for CClF3, C2ClF5, C2Cl3F3, C2Cl2F4, F11, F12, CHClF2, and CF4 is from Massie, S.T., Goldman, A., et al., 1991, 
"Temperature Dependent Infrared Cross Sections for CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-13, CFC-14, CFC-22, CFC-113, CFC-114, and CFC-115" 
NCAR Technical Note NCAR/TN-358+STR, NCAR, Boulder, CO.   

* The cross-section data for ClONO2, CHCl2F, and NO2 is from the 2004 release of HITRAN (www.cfa.harvard.edu/HITRAN).
