Abstract
Line positions, strengths, and absolute energies are calculated for the pure rotational spectrum of water in the region between 0 cm−1 and 877 cm−1. These calculations are done in the context of a reduced centrifugal distortion Hamiltonian, and are based on microwave measurements of this spectrum to 1 THz, and Far Infrared measurements between 32 cm−1 and 715 cm−1.
