Temperature dependence of the water-vapor continuum absorption coefficient

Absorption coefficient of the water vapor was obtained in laser measurements in Ref. 1 in spectral region 930 - 990 cm1 at temperatures from 263 K to 300 K. In this paper, the water vapor selective absorption in this spectral region is calculated and subtracted from the experimental data1 to determine the 'experimental' continuum absorption. Continuum absorption calculated using some empirical relations in compared with the 'experimental' one to study its temperature dependence.
