Medium-resolution transmissivities of water vapor were measured at temperatures between 600 and 1550 K for all-important vibration-rotation bands as well as part of the purely rotational band. Measurements were made with an improved drop tube design, which ensures a relatively isothermal high-temperature gas column. Data were collected with a Fourier-transform-infrared-spectrometer, allowing for much better spectral resolution than most previous high-temperature measurements. The measured data were compared to the HITEMP database, as well as with the data of Phillips for the 2.7μm band of H2O. The data show minor discrepancies with the high-resolution database, particularly at higher temperatures, but, in general, agreement is acceptable.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
