Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | The Molecular Spectroscopy Facility, MSF, has generated data on absorption and other optical properties for a wide variety of samples with applications across numerous sectors. Particular focus has been on atmospheric gases and aerosols and characterisation of spectral signatures and radiative effects. The data from the MSF has been incorporated into international spectroscopic databases such as HITRAN which have large numbers of users in a variety of fields, including climate research and remote sensing. The work at the MSF has supported a sizeable scientific community carrying out a range of research and is demonstrated by the publication record. |
