Strengths of H2O lines in the 5000–5750 cm-1 region

Measurements of the strengths of 311 lines of water vapor have been made with high resolution in the region 5000–5750 cm -1 . The strength data of lines in the (011) and (110) bands are analyzed to determine the band strengths and the coefficients of the F factors. The band strengths of the (011) and (110) bands were found to be 20.65±0.21 and 0.384±0.015 cm -2 atm -1 at 296 K, respectively. Many of the measured strengths in the (011) and (110) bands differ from the calculated values because of strong Coriolis interactions. Also included in the present work are measurements of strengths of four lines in the (030) band and 36 lines in the “hot” band (021)-(010).
