Water-vapor foreign-continuum absorption in the 8–12 and 3–5μm atmospheric windows

Recent advances in collisional effects on spectra of molecular gases and their practical consequences

“…An asymptotic approach for the description of the far line wings was proposed in [351] and applied to CO 2 [352] and to the water-vapor continuum in several spectral regions [351,353,354]. Good agreement with measurements was obtained at various temperatures, but this required the ad hoc adjustment of some parameters.…”
