Line positions and strengths in the /001/, /110/, and /030/ bands of HDO

A Fourier transform spectrometer of 0.01/cm resolution has been used to study the vibration-rotation spectrum of HDO in the 3250-4370/cm region, and a nonlinear least squares fitting technique has been employed in measurements of the strengths, positions and pressure-broadening parameters of over 1400 lines. In addition to determining values of both the ground state levels and levels in the (001), (110), and (030) states, an analysis is undertaken of the strengths of 953 lines in order to establish band strengths, F factor coefficients, and Fermi interaction parameters. Detailed results are presented in tabular form.

Line positions and strengths of HDO in the 2400-3300 per cm region

The vibration-rotation spectrum of HDO in the 2400-3300 per cm region has been studied at 0.01 per cm resolution with a Fourier transform spectrometer. Values of the ground state levels and levels in the (100) and (020) states have been determined from the data. The ground state levels are fitted to a Watson-type Hamiltonian from which 17 rotational constants are obtained. Measurements of the strengths of over 1100 lines have been made using a nonlinear least-squares fitting technique, and 548 of these lines are analyzed to determine the band strengths, the coefficients of the F factors, and the Coriolis interaction parameters. The strengths of the A- and B-type (100) bands and the A- and B-type (020) bands are 53.2 + or - 0.9, 0.43 + or - 0.07, 6.00 + or - 0.54, and 2.75 + or - 0.12 per sq cm per atm at 296 K, respectively.

The 3.6-micron region of ozone - Line positions and intensities

Spectra of (O-16)3 at 1800-5400/cm, obtained at resolution 0.01/cm using the Fourier-transform spectrometer of the National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak, are presented and analyzed; the focus is on the nu2+2nu3, nu1+nu2+nu3, and 2nu1+nu2 bands. The experimental and data-analysis procedures employed are those described by Flaud et al. (1987 and 1989), Malathy Devi et al. (1987), and Rinsland et al. (1988). The vibrational and rotational constants for the (012), (111), and (210) states are listed in a table, and the nu0 band centers for these states are given as 2726.1066/cm, 2785.2391/cm, and 2886.1781/cm, respectively.

Laboratory diode laser spectroscopy in molecular planetary astronomy

Infrared spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres is performed at high spectral resolution comparable to that in the laboratory. This requires that laboratory spectroscopy use the highest resolution and the most accurate techniques. Tunable diode laser spectroscopy can supply many of the spectroscopic parameters needed by astronomers. In particular, line positions, line strengths, and collisional line widths are measured with diode lasers, and these are often among the best values available. Diode laser spectra are complimentary to lower resolution, broader-coverage Fourier transform spectra. Certain procedures must be adopted, however, when using diode lasers, for determining their output characteristics and for calibrating each spectrum against quality references.

Improved spectroscopic line parameters for the ozone molecule

Recently available spectral O3 line parameters are summarized and progress in remote sensing based on these parameters is discussed. Particular attention is given to covering line positions, line intensities and linewidths for both the main isotopic species (O-16)3 and the isotopic variants (O-16)(O-18)(O-16) and (O-16)(O-16)(O-18).

An Accurate Potential Energy Surface for H2O

We have carried out extensive high quality ab initio electronic structure calculations of the ground state potential energy surface (PES) and dipole moment function (DMF) for H2O. A small adjustment is made to the PES to improve the agreement of line positions from theory and experiment. The theoretical line positions are obtained from variational ro-vibrational calculations using the exact kinetic energy operator. For the lines being fitted, the root-mean-square error was reduced from 6.9 to 0.08 /cm. We were then able to match 30,092 of the 30,117 lines from the HITRAN 96 data base to theoretical lines, and 80% of the line positions differed less than 0.1 /cm. About 3% of the line positions in the experimental data base appear to be incorrect. Theory predicts the existence of many additional weak lines with intensities above the cutoff used in the data base. To obtain results of similar accuracy for HDO, a mass dependent correction to the PH is introduced and is parameterized by simultaneously fitting line positions for HDO and D2O. The mass dependent PH has good predictive value for T2O and HTO. Nonadiabatic effects are not explicitly included. Line strengths for vibrational bands summed over rotational levels usually agree well between theory and experiment, but individual line strengths can differ greatly. A high temperature line list containing about 380 million lines has been generated using the present PES and DMF
