Description
The HITRAN database is an international standard for reference molecular spectroscopic data. It is widely used in many fields of engineering and science including astrophysics. In this talk the new edition (HITRAN2016) will be introduced. It features almost 50 molecules in the line-by-line section of the database, over 300 molecules in the cross-sectional part, as well as aerosol and collision-induced absorption sections. The amount of lines, spectral parameters and their accuracy have increased substantially. In addition new tools including the online interface www.hitran.org and HITRAN Application Programming Interface (HAPI) were introduced. The upcoming new edition of the HITEMP database which is a sister to HITRAN database but suitable for much higher temperatures will also be discussed.
