Fels, S. B., and M. D. Schwarzkopf, 1981: An efficient, accurate algorithm for calculating an efficient, accurate algorithm for calculating CO₂ 15 um band cooling rates. Journal of Geophysical Research, 86 (C2), 1205-1232.

Abstract: A fast, accurate method for obtaining atmospheric carbon dioxide transmission functions for the 15-Mum band is presented. Tables of transmissivities for m band is presented. Tables of transmissivities for CO<sub>2</sub> mixing ratios of 330 and 660 ppmv on standard pressure grids comprising geopotential heights ranging from 0 to 80 km and using standard temperatures are included. An algorithm for interpolating from these values to any desired temperature profile and to any other pressure grid is detailed.
