30.	Com		Specific comments to our linelist
			HIT  =  line saturated at all H2O pressures; HITRAN lines were simulated using our experimental conditions (R= 0.03 cm-1, T°= 291 K) but a shorter absorption path, in order to provide an homogeneous dataset of line positions and absorption cross-sections; errors and p-dependent parameters are not provided.
			HDO  = isotopomer HDO (Newly observed lines)
			+HDO = HDO overlapped with one of the isotopomer or HITRAN misassigned H2{16}O line.

REFERENCE:
These data should be refered to as the Bxl-Reims H2O database, and to the corresponding paper:

EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Instrument: portable high-resolution Fourier Transform spectrometer (Bruker IFS-120M)
- Absorption path-length: 101-602 m
- Spectral range: 13000-9250 cm-1
- Resolution: 0.03-0.06 cm-1 (MOPD: 30-15 cm)
- Pressure: 	
	6.1 to 18.2 hPa of pure H2O
	177 to 510 hPa of air+H2O pressure (with a constant H2O pressure of 9.75 hPa)
- Temperature: room (291 ± 3K)


CAUTION
- Absorption cross-sections for the isotopic species are given in [cm-1/(water molecule.cm-2)] and are therefore based on the total number of water molecules including all isotopes in their natural abundance.
- All assignments are taken from HITRAN 2000. When several HITRAN assignments correspond to one observed absorption feature, the assignment of the most intense HITRAN line was selected.  The detailed procedure of matching the assignments to the observed features, and the processing of the multiple assignments are described in section 3.1 of the paper.
- The reported errors are statistical errors resulting from the fitting procedure.  An additional error coming from the uncertainties on the pressure, the temperature and the path length should be considered for each parameter:
	deltaWvnb/Wvnb			= ± 0.00002%
	deltaXS/XS			= ± 3%
	deltagLself/gLself		= ± 3%
	deltagLAir/gLAir		= ± 3%
	deltaAirPshift/AirPshift	= ± 3%

- The same format is used for the 2 linelists H2OVIS and H2ONIR that can therefore be merged.  Due to the specificity of the 2 spectral regions, it is recommended to carefully read the 2 readme files and the refered papers, and to contact the person in charge in case of problem.
- A Hitran-like linelist will be available soon.
