MEASUREMENTS OF HDO BETWEEN 4719 AND 5843 CM(-1)

Fourier transform spectrometer data of heavy water vapor were obtained at resolutions of 0.01 and 0.02 cm(-1). The spectra were analyzed to obtain line center frequencies and line strengths of (HDO)-O-16 from 4 719 to 5843 cm(-1). The analysis included 1700 assigned lines of the ( 011)-(000), (200)-(000), (120)-(000), and (021)-(010) bands. This is t he first report of assignments in the weak (120)-(000) band which borr ows much of its strength from the (200)-(000) band. The measurements p rovided in this work are a marked improvement over the HDO listing pre sently available on the HITRAN database in the spectral region. (C) 19 97 Academic Press.
