Bauer, A., M. Godon, J. Carlier, Q. Ma, and R.H. Tipping, 1993: Absorption by H₂O and H₂O-N₂ mixtures at 153 GHz. J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 50, 463-475, doi:10.1016/0022-4073(93)90039-K.

New experimental data on and a theoretical analysis of the absorption coefficient at 153 GHz are presented for pure water vapor and water vapor-nitrogen mixtures. This frequency is 30 GHz lower than the resonant frequency of the nearest strong water line (183 GHz) and complements our previous measurements at 213 GHz. The pressure dependence is observed to be quadratic in the case of pure water vapor, while in the case of mixtures there are both linear and quadratic density components. By fitting our experimental data taken at several temperatures we have obtained the temperature dependence of the absorption. Our experimental data are compared to several theoretical models with and without a continuum contribution, and we find that none of the models is in very good agreement with the data; in the case of pure water vapor, the continuum contribution calculated using the recent theoretical absorption gives the best results. In general, the agreement between the data and the various models is less satisfactory than found previously in the high-frequency wing. The anisotropy in the observed absorption differs from that currently used in atmospheric models.
