title: Water Vapor Line Assignments in the Near Infrared.
abstract: The high-resolution spectrum of water vapor between 13 200 and 16 500 cm-1 recorded by J.-Y. Mandin, J-P. Chevillard, C. Camy-Peyret, J.-M. Flaud, and J. W. Brault (1986. J. Molec. Spectrosc., 116, 167) is analyzed using high-accuracy linelists obtained using ab initio calculations and spectroscopically determined potential. Assignments to H216O transitions are presented for 663 of the 795 unassigned lines presented in the original paper. In addition, 38 lines are reassigned. The majority of these assignments and reassignments are confirmed by combination differences. These assignments significantly extend the measured data for the 4nu and 4nu + delta polyads and provide the first information on the (240), (033), (160), (170), and (071) bands. It is likely that a significant fraction of the remaining unassigned lines belong to H218O. Copyright 1998 Academic Press.
