TLDR
In this article, the contribution of the far wings of collisionally broadened spectral lines to the water vapor continuum absorption is established, and the effects of deviations from the impact (Lorentz) line shape due to duration of collision effects are treated semi-empirically to provide agreement with experimental results for the continuum absorption and its temperature-dependence.

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.

Radiative transfer for inhomogeneous atmospheres: RRTM, a validated correlated-k model for the longwave

TL;DR: A rapid and accurate radiative transfer model (RRTM) for climate applications has been developed and the results extensively evaluated as discussed by the authors, which is performed using the correlated-k method: the k distributions are attained directly from the LBLRTM line-byline model, which connects the absorption coefficients used by RRTM to high-resolution radiance validations done with observations.

Infrared Continuum Absorption by Atmospheric Water Vapor in the 8-12- Micrometer Window

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of several long pathlength transmission measurements in the 8-12microm atmospheric window was carried out to determine the extinction coefficient due to the water vapor continuum.

Absorption, emission, and linebreadths: A semihistorical perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules is outlined, and a fully classical analysis of absorption and emission is formulated in which particular attention is paid to questions of detailed balance and to the sum rules obeyed by the susceptibility.

Pressure broadening of rotational bands. I - A statistical theory

TL;DR: In this paper, Fano's relaxation operator is reduced to a scalar parameter which depends on the frequency displacement, and becomes symmetric when multiplied by the factor exp (h/2pi) (omega sub d)/2kT where omega sub d is the frequency displacements.

Pressure broadening of rotational bands. II. Water vapor from 300 to 1100 cm - 1

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical theory with a simple model for intermolecular potentials was used to calculate the absorption of infrared waves by the far wings of water vapor rotational transitions.
