High temperature water line lists: comparison and validation

摘要

Five high resolution water line lists HITEMP, SCAN, AMES, TOMSK, and BT2 available from the literature were used to simulate medium and low resolution observed spectra in the 600-8000 cm~(-1) spectral interval for temperatures 1550 and 2900 K. The simulation shows that there is no a line list which is uniformly better than the others. However, in general, the BT2 line list is the most accurate whereas the SCAN line list is the least accurate.
