This paper describes the status of the 2004 edition of the
HITRAN molecular spectroscopic database. The
HITRAN compilation consists of several components that serve as input for radiative transfer ...calculation codes: individual line parameters for the microwave through visible spectra of molecules in the gas phase; absorption cross-sections for molecules having dense spectral features, i.e., spectra in which the individual lines are unresolvable; individual line parameters and absorption cross-sections for bands in the ultra-violet; refractive indices of aerosols; tables and files of general properties associated with the database; and database management software. The line-by-line portion of the database contains spectroscopic parameters for 39 molecules including many of their isotopologues.
The format of the section of the database on individual line parameters of
HITRAN has undergone the most extensive enhancement in almost two decades. It now lists the Einstein
A
-coefficients, statistical weights of the upper and lower levels of the transitions, a better system for the representation of quantum identifications, and enhanced referencing and uncertainty codes. In addition, there is a provision for making corrections to the broadening of line transitions due to line mixing.

This paper describes the status of the 2008 edition of the
HITRAN molecular spectroscopic database. The new edition is the first official public release since the 2004 edition, although a number of ...crucial updates had been made available online since 2004. The
HITRAN compilation consists of several components that serve as input for radiative-transfer calculation codes: individual line parameters for the microwave through visible spectra of molecules in the gas phase; absorption cross-sections for molecules having dense spectral features, i.e. spectra in which the individual lines are not resolved; individual line parameters and absorption cross-sections for bands in the ultraviolet; refractive indices of aerosols, tables and files of general properties associated with the database; and database management software. The line-by-line portion of the database contains spectroscopic parameters for 42 molecules including many of their isotopologues.

•Analysis of HDO high-resolution spectrum up to (010) and J=22.•Anomalous centrifugal distortion treated with the Bending-Rotation approach.•4413 data fitted in line position ...analysis.•Bending potential energy function obtained.•Hitran-type line position and line intensity data base built.
Line position and line intensity analyses of the high-resolution spectrum of the HDO isotopic species of the water molecule are performed with an extended version of the Bending-Rotation approach up to the (010) state and J=22. The line position analysis involves 3992 microwave, far infrared and infrared lines, and 421 experimental energy levels which were reproduced with a 1.1 unitless standard deviation. The data set considered in the line intensity analysis consists of 1405 infrared absorpon lines and 4 Stark coefficients fitted with a 1.2 unitless standard deviation. The results of both analyses are compared with previous investigations and are used to build a spectroscopic database which is compared with other available databases and should be useful for interpreting measurements carried out with the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI).

•5 Kr–H2O bands observed for the first time in the ν2 band region.•All bands analyzed in terms of rotational & distorsion constants.•Two bands are strongly Coriolis coupled and the ...corresponding parameter βcould be determined.
Five rovibrational bands of the Kr–H2O complex have been recorded in the ν2 bending region of H2O using a quantum cascade laser coupled to a pulsed slit supersonic jet. Four of them have been unambiguously assigned to the Σ and Π states in v2=1,111,110, and 212 rotational levels of the monomer based on ground state combination differences and similarities with the vibration–rotation tunneling states of Ar–H2O. One of the bands is tentatively assigned to a combination band with two quanta of intermolecular van der Waals stretching mode (νs). Due to the efficient rovibrational cooling in our pulsed supersonic expansion, all observed bands originate from the lowest lying states. Four of them are from the lowest ortho ground state Σe(101) and one of them is from the lowest para ground state Σe(000). The jet-cooled spectra have been analyzed in terms of a nearly free internal rotor model taking into account Coriolis couplings between close lying Σ and Π levels. Molecular parameters for the five upper vibrational states, band origin, rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been accurately determined. The β parameter describing the Coriolis coupling between the Σ and Π states originating from the (212) state has also been obtained.

•GEISA-2020 database release: 6,746,987 entries in the line parameters database.•23 molecules updated and 6 new molecules added (HONO, COFCl, CH3F, CH3I, RuO4, H2C3H2 (isomer of ...C3H4).•Evaluation of the spectroscopic parameters through radiative transfer simulations compared to atmospheric spectra (SPARTE chain).
This paper describes the 2020 release of the GEISA database (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques: Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information), developed and maintained at LMD since 1974. GEISA is the reference database for several current or planned Thermal and Short-Wave InfraRed (TIR and SWIR) space missions IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer), IASI-NG (IASI New Generation), MicroCarb (Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Mission), Merlin (MEthane Remote sensing LIdar missioN). It is actually a compilation of three databases: the “line parameters database”, the “cross-section sub-database” and the “microphysical and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols sub-database”. The new edition concerns only the line parameters dataset, with significant updates and additions implemented using the best available spectroscopic data.
The GEISA-2020 line parameters database involves 58 molecules (145 isotopic species) and contains 6,746,987 entries, in the spectral range from 10−6 to 35877 cm−1. In this version, 23 molecules have been updated (with 10 new isotopic species) and 6 new molecules have been added (HONO, COFCl, CH3F, CH3I, RuO4, H2C3H2 (isomer of C3H4)) corresponding to 15 isotopic species. The compilation can be accessed through the AERIS data and services center for the atmosphere website (https://geisa.aeris-data.fr/), with the development of a powerful graphical tool and convenient searching, filtering, and plotting of data using modern technologies (PostgreSQL database, REST API, VueJS, Plotly).
Based on four examples (H2O, O3, O2 and SF6), this paper also shows how the LMD in house validation algorithm SPARTE (Spectroscopic Parameters And Radiative Transfer Evaluation) helps to evaluate, correct, reject or defer the input of new spectroscopic data into GEISA and this, thanks to iterations with researchers from different communities (spectroscopy, radiative transfer).
