NAME: bromomethane, methyl bromide
FORMULA: CH3Br
AUTHOR(YEAR): GillotaySimon(1987,1988)
T: 295K
λ: 180-280nm(2nm)
BIBLIOGRAPHY: D. Gillotay and P.C. Simon, "Ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of methyl bromide at stratospheric temperatures", Aeronomica Acta A 320, 1-17 (1987); Annales Geophysicae 6, 211-215 (1988)
COMMENTS: Absorption measurements at 210 to 295 K using a single-beam equipment with a maximum resolution of 0.015 nm

Selected values at 2-nm intervals

Data also in

D. Gillotay, P.C. Simon, and L. Dierickx, Temperature dependence of ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of brominated methanes and ethanes, in Quadrennial Ozone Symposium, Göttingen, RFA, 1988; Aeronomica Acta A 335, 1-25 (1988)

and in the review article of

D. Gillotay and P.C. Simon, "Ultraviolet absorption cross-sections of photoactive species of stratospheric interest. Part 1: The Halocarbons", Aeronomica Acta A 356, 1-173 (1990)

Parameterization of the temperature dependence (210-300 K, 210-290 nm) using an empirical polynomial expansion:

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn + (T–273) × ∑Bnλn, n = 0-4

with the following parameters A and Bn

A0 = 7.997        B0 = 0.457415
A1 = –0.889724     B1 = –0.00882996
A2 = 0.00838084      B2 = 6.40235 × 10–5
A3 = –3.03191 × 10–5    B3 = –2.06827 × 10–7
A4 = 3.69427 × 10–8   B4 = 2.51393 × 10–10

These parameters, which differ from those reported by Gillotay and Simon, have been obtained by a re-fit ot their data and are the recommended values in the JPL-2015 recommendation
