Abstract

For the first time, the low-temperature (from -9 to 15 ° C) Fourier Transform Spectroscopy laboratory measurements of the pure water vapor absorption spectra are performed in the near-infrared spectral region, and self-continuum absorption is retrieved within 1600 cm^-1 (6.25 μm) and 3600 cm^-1 (2.7μm) absorption bands. The proportion of true-bound and quasi-bound water dimers in the equilibrium water vapor is derived by fitting their model spectra to the spectral features of the retrieved continuum. The results are in reasonable agreement with statistical calculations and support the idea of complimentary contribution stable and metastable dimers to the spectral structure of water vapor continuum within absorption bands.
