Abstract
The absorption of heat radiation by water vapour in the atmosphere is considered. It is shown that existing experimental results are all consistent with Lorentz collision-broadening. A law is derived for the variation of absorption with amount of water vapour; this law differs somewhat from that proposed by Elsasser, indicating a slower extinction of radiation than the latter. The correction for pressure variations is found to be greater than Elsasser's normally; the temperature correction agrees with his.Keywords
