Abstract
The calculations of the partition functions and weighted transition-moments squared in the HITRAN database are reviewed. It was found that for several of the HITRAN molecules corrections are needed to the partition functions. Corrections to the weighted transition-moments squared are needed for most of the HITRAN molecules. Replacement of the weighted transition-moments sq uared by other quantities is proposed.
