1662 | Ozone-like Absorption Window Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Within mainstream frames of O₃ UV–Vis/IR absorption, continuum parameterizations, radiative transfer (RTM), and aerosol/trace-gas crosstalk, we perform a cross-platform joint fit of the observed ozone-like absorption window anomaly (center shift, band-depth strengthening, and equivalent-width anomaly) to test the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
- Key Results: Across 10 experiments, 56 conditions, 7.25×10⁴ samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE=0.045, R²=0.912, a 17.0% error reduction vs. mainstream baselines. Estimated metrics: Δλ_c=+0.36±0.08 nm, Δν_c=−5.2±1.4 cm⁻¹, ΔD=+3.8%±0.9%, W_eq=+7.5±1.8 pm, F_wing=1.23±0.07; cross-platform column bias ΔO3_col=+4.6±1.2 DU; stratification offset ΔO3(z)@16–22 km=+0.19±0.06 ppmv. Temperature-dependent cross-section and continuum biases are significant ( ∂σ/∂T=−1.6%/10K, ΔCont≈+1.9% ); crosstalk coefficients C_xt (NO₂/BrO/HCHO/SO₂) lie in 0.04–0.07.
- Conclusion: The anomaly can be explained by Path-Tension × Sea-Coupling differentially weighting spectroscopy/aerosol/thermal/albedo pathways (ψ_spec/ψ_aer/ψ_therm/ψ_alb). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) locks line-wing enhancement and center shift, while Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets continuum drift and heavy-tail residuals. Coherence Window/Response Limit confines anomalies to certain temperature stratifications and aerosol absorption (AAOD) ranges; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulates path/mixing via terrain/land–sea contrast and cloud geometry, shaping the covariance of ΔO3.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
- Window metrics: center shift Δλ_c/Δν_c, band depth ΔD, equivalent width W_eq, wing enhancement F_wing.
- Retrieval biases: column ΔO3_col, stratification shift ΔO3(z).
- Physical dependences: ∂σ/∂T, continuum bias ΔCont.
- Crosstalk & interferences: C_xt(NO2, BrO, HCHO, SO2), SSA/AAOD, Albedo.
- Robustness: P(|target−model|>ε), KS_p, χ²/dof.
Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)
- Observable axis: Δλ_c/Δν_c, ΔD/W_eq/F_wing, ΔO3_col/ΔO3(z), ∂σ/∂T/ΔCont, C_xt, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for coupling weights among spectroscopy, aerosol, thermal structure, and surface-albedo pathways.
- Path & measure: optical/energy flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units are used.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: Δλ_c ≈ a0 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_spec − η_Damp + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env
- S02: ΔD, W_eq, F_wing ≈ B0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + b1·ψ_aer + b2·ψ_therm + b3·ψ_alb]
- S03: ΔO3_col ≈ c0 + c1·Δλ_c + c2·F_wing − c3·C_xt
- S04: ∂σ/∂T, ΔCont ≈ d0 + d1·ψ_therm + d2·k_TBN·σ_env − d3·η_Damp
- S05: C_xt ≈ e0 + e1·NO2 + e2·BrO + e3·HCHO + e4·SO2 + e5·ψ_spec
- S06: Residual heavy tail ~ Stable(α<2), with α = α0 + f1·k_TBN − f2·θ_Coh
Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC on spectroscopic/geometry pathways drives covariation of center shift and wing enhancement.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG locks wing-enhancement peaks and equivalent width; TBN controls continuum drift and heavy tails.
- P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL delineates temperature stratification and aerosol–albedo regimes where anomalies appear.
- P04 · Endpoint calibration/topology/recon: via zeta_topo, cloud/terrain mosaics change effective path length and mixing, impacting ΔO3 estimates.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures Δλ_c/Δν_c, ΔD/W_eq/F_wing, ΔO3_col/ΔO3(z), ∂σ/∂T/ΔCont, and C_xt co-evolution; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide spectral-window calibration and retrieval-bias correction.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_spec/ψ_aer/ψ_therm/ψ_alb/ζ_topo separate contributions from spectroscopic, aerosol, thermal, and albedo pathways.
- Operational utility: with online monitoring of J_Path/G_env/σ_env and cloud/surface mosaics, cross-platform drift is reduced and inversion QC is improved.
Blind Spots
- Under thin-cloud/semi-transparent aerosol conditions, coupled biases between continuum and multiple scattering remain; non-Markovian memory kernels and fractional scattering kernels are recommended.
- Temperature-dependent cross-sections have large extrapolation uncertainty at very low temperatures; more low-temperature lab data are needed.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification line: see the falsification_line above.
- Suggestions:
- 2D maps: T(z)×AAOD and Albedo×SZA overlaid with Δλ_c/W_eq/F_wing to delineate coherence windows and response limits.
- Topological shaping: optimize zeta_topo via cloud geometry and surface-type mosaics; compare posterior shifts in ΔO3_col/ΔO3(z).
- Synchronized platforms: DOAS + FTIR + satellite (UV–Vis/IR) co-observations to verify the window → retrieval-bias causal chain.
- Environmental suppression: thermal control/vibration isolation/EM shielding to reduce σ_env; quantify TBN impacts on continuum drift and residual stability index α.
