Abstract:

We propose a new technique for assignment of quantum numbers of the calculated energy levels of water molecule that has been developed based on extrapolation of the monotonic dependence of energy levels on quantum numbers. As compared with the standard technique based on the analysis of the wave function of a quantum state, the proposed technique allows much better assignment of the levels with the energies higher than 15000 cm-1. Prospects of this technique are demonstrated as applied to improvement of theoretical calculations of water vapor spectra. The possibility of using the improved variation calculations for simulation of the Earth's radiative budget is discussed.
