The pure rotational spectrum of water vapor—A millimeter, submillimeter, and far infrared analysis

Line positions, strengths, and absolute energies are calculated for the pure rotational spectrum of water in the region between 0 cm−1 and 877 cm−1. These calculations are done in the context of a reduced centrifugal distortion Hamiltonian, and are based on microwave measurements of this spectrum to 1 THz, and Far Infrared measurements between 32 cm−1 and 715 cm−1.
