HITEMP : towards molecular spectroscopic databases for any possible scenario

The HITRAN spectroscopic database is a backbone of the interpretation of spectral terrestrial and planetary atmospheric retrievals and is an important input to the radiative transfer codes. Apart from atmospheric applications HITRAN is being used in medicine, astrophysics, air-quality monitoring, instrument calibration and many other areas of science and industry. The most recent release of the database is HITRAN2016 [1]. It consists of line-by-line lists, experimental absorption cross-sections, collision-induced absorption data and aerosol indices of refraction.
