MEASUREMENTS OF (H2O)-O-16 LINE POSITIONS AND STRENGTHS - 11610 TO 12861 CM-1

High resolution spectra of (H2O)-O-16 vapor covering the region from 11 610 to 12 861 cm-1 were used to determine experimental values of line positions and strengths of 933 lines, which include vibration-rotation transitions in the (211)-(000), (131)-(000), (310)-(000), (112)-(000), and (031)-(000) bands, from which rotational energy levels in the (211), (131), (310), (112), and (031) vibrational states were obtained. The linestrengths and positions reported here are considered to be a marked improvement over the values listed in the 1986 edition of the HITRAN database and a preliminary listing from this work has been included in the 1993 HITRAN edition.
