New measurements of water vapour spectral line parameters and their impact on atmospheric absorption (8600-15000 cm(-1)).
New laboratory measurements and theoretical calculations of integrated line intensities for water vapour bands in the near-infrared and visible regions (860015000 cm(-1)) show a systematic 6 to 26% increase in band intensities compared to the HITRAN96 database. The recent corrections to HITRAN96 (Gi...
