Some history

2007. Dr. Rothman suggested to start a collaboration.
In frames of this collaboration he suggested to develop an
Internet information system, like SPECTRA to access to
HITRAN databank.
2008. The project «Fundamental spectroscopic system for
climate change monitoring» was initiated.
2009. Project was supported by CRDF (RUG1-2954-TO09) and RFBR (09-05-92508) joint grant.
Hitran on the Web: Homepage
Hitran on the Web: Database.
As a data storage used relational database managed by
MySQL DBMS. This database consists of 4 parts:




main database (Molecules, Isotopologues, Vibrational
states, Transitions, Line lists, Gas mixtures, Partition
functions and so on);
auxiliary database (Users, News, Bibliography ...);
user's database for user defined data;
temporary database for temporary tables created by
the system while processing of user's requests.
Hitran on the Web: Functionality.
All users (unregistered and registered) may:
•
•
Survey of the HITRAN database content for a specified spectral range
Specify a set of vibrational bands for a given HITRAN isotopologue for a
selected wavenumber region
Specify a gas mixture from a set of built-in standard atmospheric
concentration profiles for a selected wavenumber region
Visualize stick intensity diagram of the specified mixture
Simulate one of built-in spectral functions (absorption coefficient profile,
transmittance, absorption, or radiance) of the mixture spectrum convolved
with one of built-in apparatus function for various physical (temperature,
pressure, pathlength) and simulation (intensity cutoff, contour shape, wing
length, resolution, etc) conditions
•
•
•
Registered users may also:
•
•
•
Prepare user defined gas mixtures
Save simulation results on the server side and compare them
Upload spectra to the server side and compare them with previously
simulated spectra

Future work
• Implement algorithms for fast calculation of absorption
coefficients (Boris Fomin)
• Expand the set of supported line shapes
• Implement additional options to work with the user defined
data
• Fill of a database of bibliographic references and expand
possibilities of work with the bibliography
• Create the help system: well structured and detailed
• Re-release the plotting software on the base of the
Protochart JavaScript: include interactive drag-and-drop,
zoom options and so on.
The current version of the system available via the Internet
for testing purposes: http://hitran.iao.ru
