Simulated normalized transmission spectra for horizontal open-path links. Simulations were performed using concentrations of 2 ppm methane, 500 ppm carbon dioxide, and 2000 ppm water vapor at 300 K and 1 standard atmospheric pressure. (a) Transmission spectrum for a 1 km path length, covering the wavelength range from 60006600 cm−1, which corresponds to the output range of mature fiber comb seed light sources. (b) Transmission spectrum for a 100 km path length. In this case, most of the wavelength bands suitable for measuring GHGs at kilometer-scale paths become saturated. (c) Wavelength band suitable for methane measurement in ultra-long open-path DCS. (d) Wavelength band suitable for carbon dioxide measurement in ultra-long open-path DCS. See the text for further details.
