Abstract:

Total internal partition sums of the species on the HITRAN database are presented. The development of maintenance programs and update programs for the 1991 version of the HITRAN database is given as well as the construction of the 1991 version new data and developments are presented. The creation of new maintenance programs for updating halfwidths of O sub 3 and H sub 2 O is discussed. Calculations are shown for the pressure broadened halfwidths of H sub 2 O and CO sub 2 via several theoretical models. A summary of the 1991 HITRAN workshop is given with some recommendations for the future development.
