Water facts Water is one of the most studied molecules In the Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, 16 articles were published since June 2005 including: 15 experimental papers and 1 theoretical paper A theoretician has a lot of work to do just fitting these data
The vibrational states involved Eight first vibrational states Data base for the n2 band region
Overview • The theoretical approach • The line position analysis • The data set • Results • The line strength analysis • The spectroscopic parameters • The new measurements • Results • Building a new data base for water
The theoretical approach The bending-rotation approach will be used. It accounts for the anomalous centrifugal distortion and for the Coriolis- and Fermi-type couplings. It has already been used in many investigations1-7and for the MIPAS8and HITRAN 20049data bases. Radau Coordinates 1. J. Mol. Spec.154, 427 (1992). 2. J. Mol. Spec.165, 406 (1994). 3.J. Mol.

Line position analysis: the data set Larger data set than in a previous investigation.1 15583 data including: • 2990 experimental energy levels • 12252 FIR and IR transitions • 341 microwave transitions Unitless Standard deviation is 1.4 1The eight first vibrational states of the water molecule: measurements and analysis, Coudert, Pirali, Vervloet, Lanquetin, and Camy-Peyret, J.

Portion of the O-C Table for (010) A Watson-type Hamiltonian cannot be used for water. The calculated line positions should be accurate enough to build a data base for water. 1. Matsushima et al. (2006). 2. This work

Measurement conditions + Analysis Pure water + air-broadened measurements Advantage: no instrumental lineshape errors in air-broadened data, different opacities for same transition Linestrength by averaging (2-20 measurements/averaged line), of averaging ca. 1.3 on average Ca. 600 2 lines with overall uncertainty <2% Air-broadened number densities scaled.Reason: Number density more accurate in pure water measurementScaling factors differ <1% from 1!!
Quality assessment, 2, main isotopomer Fit of scalar factor and temperature of individual pure water measurement. Reference: new linestrength data Ideal: T=296K, factor=1 Agreement good!! Independentanalysis of optical depths 0-0.5 and 0.5-4 Agreement good!!
Strong linestrength-dependent difference to Toth data (currently in Hitran 2004) Origin to be investigated
The available data All these data have not been fitted together
The two line strength analyses Analysis I: The previous data except the measurements carried out in this work. Analysis II:The previous data except Toth’s measurements for transitions involving the n2 and 2n2-n2bands.
Results for Analysis I 6159 data fitted. Std = 1.4
M = J+1 R(J) M=JQ(J) M = -JP(J) AA
Results for Analysis II 5558 data fitted. Std = 1.3
Calculated with Hitran04
Can we improve Hitran 04 ? • Using the results of Analysis II, a data base was built. • This new data base was compared with Hitran 04.
