Einstein A-coefficients and statistical weights for molecular absorption transitions in the HITRAN database

This paper describes the calculation of the statistical weights and the Einstein A-coefficients for the 39 molecules and their associated isotopologues/isotopomers currently present in the line-by-line portion of the HITRAN database. Calculation of the Einstein A-coefficients was carried out using the HITRAN line intensities and the necessary statistical weights. The Einstein A-coefficient and the statistical weights of the upper and lower levels of the transition were added in the new format of the line parameters for the most recent edition of the HITRAN database.
