Abstract

A fitting technique is proposed which gives more reliable spectral line parameters for blended and very weak lines. The technique uses common upper state energies to fix frequencies in cases where these are poorly determined. Room temperature Fourier Transform absorption spectra of pure water vapour due to Schermaul et al.

Only 73 of the lines remain unassigned. Comparisons, with previous studies on water vapour absorption in this region suggest that the new parameters give a more consistent representation of the underlying spectrum. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
