Water vapour line assignments in the 9250–26 000 cm−1 frequency range

Abstract Line parameters for water vapour in natural abundance have recently been determined for the 9250–13 000 cm −1 region [M.-F. Merienne, A. Jenouvrier, C. Hermans, A.C. Vandaele, M. Carleer, C. Clerbaux, P.-F. Coheur, R. Colin, S. Fally, M. Bach, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 82 (2003) 99] and the 13 000–26 000 cm −1 region [P.-F. Coheur, S. Fally, M. Carleer, C. Clerbaux, R.

Transfer 74 (2002) 493] using a high-resolution Fourier-transform spectrometer with a long-path absorption cell. These spectra are analysed using several techniques including variational line lists and assignments made. In total, over 15 000 lines were assigned to transitions involving more than 150 exited vibrational states of H 2 16 O. Twelve new vibrational band origins are determined and estimates for a further 16 are presented.
