ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS AND INTERPRETATION OF THE NEAR INFRARED BANDS OF WATER VAPOR

Abstract

Use of long absorption paths and high resolution made possible the observation and precision measurement of nearly 7500 spectral lines of water vapor in the regions 2500--4330 $cm^{4}$ and $4470-5915 cm^{4}$. A discussion will be presented of the spectra observed along with the energy levels determined for the 100, 020, 001, 110, 011 and 030 states.
