Raman band contours for water vapor as a function of temperature

Abstract
A simplified method of calculation of the contour of a totally polarized Raman band for an asymmetric top molecule in the gaseous state has been applied to produce the first accurate band‐shape calculation for the ν1 band of the water molecule. The good fits between computed and experimental contours from approximately 150 to 350 °C lay the foundation for temperature determination for water vapor from measurements of the Raman band profile and for density measurements independent of the temperature.
