Intensity measurements of H216O lines in the spectral region 8000-9350 cm−1

This paper presents new measurements of H216O lines performed on spectra recorded with the GSMA Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). Our experimental conditions allow one to obtain new line intensity measurements from 10−25 to 10−21 cm/molec at 296 K and self-broadening coefficients in the spectral range centered at 8800 cm−1. In the HITRAN database, data reported for this region is taken from the work of Mandin et al. (1988) [8,9] and several articles pointed out problems on the line intensities. We present in this paper some intensity comparisons, first with the HITRAN database, and then with the recent article of Tolchenov and Tennyson (2005) [3]. We finish by a comparison on self-broadening coefficients.
