Water intensities: ab initio versus experiment
IntroductionRoutes to line intensities in spectroscopic databases• Minimal approach: Line intensities are derived from laboratory
spectroscopy measurementsDisadvantage: not all lines included, precision limited by noise
• Effective Hamiltonian approach: Quantum mechanical data reduction of experimental line intensitiesOnly useful when experimental data are reproduced within their precisionAdvantage: Intensities for lines not in the experiment can be calculated when avoiding large extrapolation towards higher quantum numbersFurther advantages: Noise of experimental line intensities is reduced, experimental line intensities are checked for consistency
• Pure ab initio approach: Semi-empirical PES, purely ab-initio DMSAdvantage: All transitions coveredDisadvantage: Experimental validation mandatory
How accurate are ab initio calculations?• Intercomparison between ab initio and experimental line intensities
required
But:
• Experimental line intensities from different labs often differ outside error margins (see below)
Thus:
• High quality experimental data with known uncertainty needed
• Best case: At least two experimental data sets from independent labs agree within error margins
Ab initio calculation of H2O line intensities • Lorenzo Lodi, Jonathan Tennyson, and Oleg L. Polyansky, “A global, high
accuracy ab initio dipole moment surface for the electronic ground state of the water molecule”, J. Chem. Phys. 135, 034113 (2011).
• Quality estimate: 2 different PES and DMS 4 combinations fractional ab initio uncertainty = (largest value/smallest value -1)
• The authors state line intensity errors of 1% for most lines validated by average agreement with HITRAN 2008 (ab initio/HITRAN=1.01±4.5%, S>1e-22,11% of HITRAN lines with J<13) and agreement of 15 lines measured with CRDS by Lisak and Hodges (NIST) (ab initio/NIST=1.004±0.6%)
• But: Systematic line intensity errors in HITRAN 2008 S>1e-22 are very likely Example: Update 2004 2008 2 line intensities changed up to 6% (see below). Other regions???
• Thus, agreement of 1% between ab initio and HITRAN is not very conclusive
This work: Intercomparison of ab initio and high quality experimental water line intensities
DLR measurements – strategy• Goal: Accurate data with defined error margins
• Redundancy is important since hidden systematic errors may depend on line width and optical depths. Chi tests and investigation of residuals of redundant data may help to quantify/identify error sources
• Line intensities retrieved from many measurements with different optical depths (<4) for redundancy
• Combination of pure water and air-broadened measurements used for increasing redundancy (width and optical depth independently selectable)
• Influence of instrumental lineshape function is minimized by choosing high resolution
• Mostly ambient temperature measurements used

DLR measurements – 1 µm region• Line intensities of up to 11 measurements averaged• Reference: 1 mb pure water measurement at ambient temperature – 5 mb
pure water measurement not used as reference due to insufficient spectral resolution
• Individual measurements (except reference) scaled for 0% mean measurement omc in averaging
• Quality check: Temperature/scaling factor (Sref x scaling factor = Smeas) fit from line intensities of individual measurements using averaged line intensities as reference
• Air-broadened measurements: 7 scaling factors less than 1% off 1, 2 scaling factors between 1 and 2%

Brand new quick-look 3 results obtained by our PhD student Joep Loos
• Only single pure water measurement analyzed
• Only 21 transitions, line intensity >1e-19
• Ab initio – experiment: mean -0.96%, scatter 0.25%
• HITRAN 2008 – experiment: mean -2.44%, scatter 0.39%
Conclusion• Good agreement of ab initio and DLR experimental line intensities:
• H216O, 2, S>1e-23: <2%
• H218O, 2, S>1e-23: <2%
• H216O, 3, S>1e-19: <1% (preliminary)
• H216O, 1 µm region, S>1e-22: <2%
• Agreement of ab initio and DLR data much better than with older HITRAN versions• Good agreement of ab initio and DLR data indicates reliability of both data sources• But there exist overtones and combination bands with biases between ab initio and
experiment up to 9%. The origin for the differences can be unambiguously attributed to the ab initio calculation
• Furthermore, singular large differences up to 30% (resonances) and vibrational transition specific scatter related to the ab initio calculations exist
• Ab initio uncertainties were found to be helpful in assessing data quality. In cases of resonances they may be misleading
• Further intercomparison between high quality laboratory measurements and ab initio calculations are required
