- Abstract:
- The rotation-vibration spectrum of water dominates the absorption of sunlight in our atmosphere and is also the major contributor to the greenhouse effect. Despite many person-years of effort there remain many uncertainties in the spectrum of water vapour at visible and neighbouring wavelengths. The proposal will combine state-of-the art experimental measurements with variational calculations to give a comprehensive linelist for water. This linelist will be validated using both ground based and satellite atmospheric spectra. Data will be made available via standard databases and the web. Results will be of importance for studies of the global energy balance, satellite retrievals and essentially all attempts to study atmospheric spectra and/or radioactive transport at near-infrared or visible wavelengths.
