Based upon the data in the airs_freq_oct98, JPL want five AIRS channels added to those in the Mar98 fast model. The five new channels are: ID A I freq resol module 9911 7 192 1337.1950 1315.666 3 9510 4 150 2169.4250 1211.239 2b 9361 3 130 2309.5125 1266.269 1b 9232 2 116 2432.5700 1200.279 2a 9117 1 118 2552.5375 1259.962 1a ID = fake channel ID number. Subtract 9000 and add 0.5 to find the channel position within 1-2373 using the numbering scheme specified by George in May96 (file airsfreq.pdr) and also used in the Mar98 AIRS fast model. Note: there is a new numbering scheme in the airs_freq_oct98 file from JPL, where the channels are numbered 0 - 2377. A = array number. The array number is just another way of refering to the modules. There are 17 arrays/modules. I = index of channel in module/array. All 5 new channels are on the low freq side of their respective array/module. freq = the channel frequencies are exactly as given (JPL has already rounded them to the nearest 0.0025 cm^-1). resol = the resolution comes from a linear interpolation of the two nearest channels in the module (JPL did not supply the resolution for the new channels).

I've not tested to see how well this works...I can only guesstimate, but it might be good to within 1K or so. Scott, 29 Oct 1998.
