continuum absorption
A region of continuous spectral absorption by a gas that shows no apparent line structure. Continuum absorption is explained semi-empirically as the overlap of absorption due to many absorption lines with centers far from the continuum region. A good example occurs in the 10- μm window region, where continuum absorption by water vapor can be particularly important. Compare band absorption, line absorption.
