Noisy, non-resolved emission spectra of the (0,0) 391.4 nm N_{2}^{+} molecular band are employed for the rotational (and in some case vibrational) temperature evaluation in different sources in the range of 320-7900 K when the apparatus function of the recording system is unknown. The following sources are examined: an ovoid-shaped transferred arc at atmospheric pressure, a low-pressure transferred arc, a high-voltage high-pressure electric discharge, a low-pressure radio-frequency discharge, and an atmospheric pressure laminar plasma jet. The described method is based on a normalization of the experimental spectrum with respect to the (0,0) band-head amplitude followed by a point-to-point comparison of the real spectrum with respect to a computer simulated spectrum using the best-square fit criterion. This criterion is found as the good one: the relative error on temperature evaluation had the same order of magnitude as the noise-to-signal ratio, even if the last one was relatively high. It was also found that the rotational and vibrational temperatures in the radio-frequency discharge are very different, which indicates an out of thermodynamic equilibrium characteristic of such a discharge. The proposed method of temperature evaluation is shown as quite precise and simple to use for even the non-spectroscopists.

We study the intensity distribution of the A^{2}Δ-X^{2}Π system of CH molecule at 430 nm in a low pressure plasma jet. This system shows an overlap of vibrational bands with Δv=0. By comparing simulated and experimental emission spectra, we obtain rotational and vibrational temperatures using Boltzmann plots or some thermometer functions. The thermometer functions are the integrated intensities of line-like transitions composed of several rotational transitions. The result of the Boltzmann plots and the thermometer functions method that we propose are in good agreement.

Using spectroscopic measurements vibrational and rotational temperatures were determined in the "ferroelectric" plasma source for different gas mixtures. It was shown that in this time-periodical, atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium discharge, both plasma temperatures differ strongly, and that the vibrational temperature is much higher (≈ 3 kK) than the rotational one (< 1 kK).

Using spectroscopic and electric measurements, vibrational and rotational molecular gas temperatures as well as free electron temperature and concentration were determined in different regions of a time-periodical type, atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium low current gliding arc. It was shown that this discharge includes an initial quasi-equilibrium zone, with the quasi-equilibrium temperature of 4 to 6 kK, and the non-equilibrium zone with the electron temperature about 10 kK, the vibrational temperature about 3 kK, rotational and translational temperatures from 1 to 1.5 kK. The transition between two mentioned zones coincides with the phenomenon of the arc "length explosion" already observed in moderate-current gliding arc.
