Abstract:  Laboratory measurements of the relative absorption cross sections of 
CO2 at the temperatures 195 and 295 K have been made throughout the wavelength 
region 118.7-175.5 nm.  Laboratory measurements of the absolute absorption 
cross sections of CO2 at the temperature 195 and 295 K have been made at 12 
different wavelengths in the region 118.7-175.5 nm.  These absolute values have been used to put the relative cross section measurements of CO2 at 195 and 
295 K on an absolute basis throughout the region 118.7-175.5 nm.  Almost no 
temperature dependence was observed in the peak cross sections of the strong 
bands at 130 nm region, but large temperature effects are seen in the other regions.
