The ATMOS solar atlas covers the infrared spectrum of the Sun observed from space, over the frequency range from 650 to 4800 cm–1 at a resolution of 0.01 cm–1. The spectrum reveals a large number of molecular and atomic features that are not visible in spectra taken from the ground. The acquisition of the spectra, details of their presentation in the atlas, and some highlights of the solar features are described.
