Abstract
A line shape model has been developed to study the continuum absorption of microwave radiation by water vapor. The model was tested in the spectral region below 30 cm(-1) by comparison with an experimental spectrum [Zhevakin et al., Radiophysical Research Institute Report (Gorky, U.S.S.R., 1978]. The model includes effects of finite duration of collisions and the far line contribution. The far line contribution is found to be the dominant factor for continuum absorption. Other contributions to the continuum absorption are also studied.
