HITEMP, the high-temperature molecular spectroscopic database

TLDR
In this paper, a new molecular spectroscopic database for high-temperature modeling of the spectra of molecules in the gas phase is described, called HITEMP, which is analogous to the HITRAN database but encompasses many more bands and transitions than HitRAN for the absorbers H2O, CO2, CO, NO and OH.
Abstract
A new molecular spectroscopic database for high-temperature modeling of the spectra of molecules in the gas phase is described. This database, called HITEMP, is analogous to the HITRAN database but encompasses many more bands and transitions than HITRAN for the absorbers H2O, CO2, CO, NO, and OH. HITEMP provides users with a powerful tool for a great many applications: astrophysics, planetary and stellar atmospheres, industrial processes, surveillance, non-local thermodynamic equilibrium problems, and investigating molecular interactions, to name a few. The sources and implementation of the spectroscopic parameters incorporated into HITEMP are discussed.

Radiative heating and cooling in the middle and lower atmosphere of Venus and responses to atmospheric and spectroscopic parameter variations

TL;DR: In this paper, a sophisticated radiative transfer model that considers absorption, emission, and multiple scattering by gaseous and particulate constituents over the broad spectral range 0.125-1000µm is applied to calculate radiative fluxes and temperature change rates in the middle and lower atmosphere of Venus (0-100 km).

The HITRAN 2008 molecular spectroscopic database

TL;DR: The new HITRAN is greatly extended in terms of accuracy, spectral coverage, additional absorption phenomena, added line-shape formalisms, and validity, and molecules, isotopologues, and perturbing gases have been added that address the issues of atmospheres beyond the Earth.

The determination of an accurate isotope dependent potential energy surface for water from extensive ab initio calculations and experimental data

TL;DR: In this article, a high quality ab initio potential energy surface (PES) and dipole moment function (DPM) for water has been determined and an adjusted PES is empirically adjusted to improve the agreement between the computed line positions and those from the HITRAN 92 data base with J⩽5 for H216O.

A high-accuracy computed water line list

TL;DR: The most complete water line list in existence, comprising over 500 million transitions (65 per cent more than any other list) and also the most accurate (over 90 per cent of all known experimental energy levels are within 0.3 cm −1 of the BT2 values) is presented in this article.
