Abstract:

The spectra of rotational-vibrational bands of main absorbing atmospheric molecules (H2O, CO2, and O3) are interpreted in terms of fractal analysis. The results demonstrate that these spectra possess non-trivial and rather individual multifractal characteristics. In particular, the spectrum of fractal dimensions is shown to be sensitive to molecular and isotopic content of a gas and to the type a rotational-vibrational absorption band.
