Cross-section calculations RFM and OFM full spectral calculations agree to better than 1 % near major absorption features. 

Limb spectral calculations RFM-OFM limb radiance calculations agree to within a fraction of the MEPAS specified Noise Equivalent Spectral Radiance (NESR).

Their leading term agrees well with the even more accurate value obtained in the pseudo-spectral calculation cited above 88... 

Another alternative worthy of further mention is residual errors in the BChl atomic coordinates as reported by Fenna et al. [44]. These are not likely to be large, or to explain the spectral anomalies, but they should be taken into account. In this regard, it is noteworthy that a refinement of the 2.8-A Fenna-Matthews structure to 1.9 A has now been reported by Tronrud et al. [48]. Subsequently, the complete amino acid sequence of the polypeptide was established [49]. A new refinement, making full use of the sequence data, will thus be necessary, although the present 1.9-A coordinates are certainly more reliable than the original ones. In any event, the refined coordinates should be used in future spectral calculations.
