We discuss two approaches to the treatment of blended lines in a molec
ular absorption spectrum. This problem of blended lines is relatively
frequent in the dense and complex far-infrared and infrared spectra of
methanol. The first technique utilizes an interactive computer line-p
rofile analysis routine to resolve the blended features, while the sec
ond more directly separates closely adjacent peaks in the spectrum by
employing 2f lock-in detection. In principle, both techniques can be a
pplied to any spectrum where line overlapping occurs and in most cases
make overlapped lines separable for analysis with practically the sam
e precision as that for isolated lines. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
