Dear Pengwang, You should be able to read a Hitran file in 2.4 that you could read in 2.3. Now, it sounds like you have downloaded a new version of the Hitran catalog. Arts 2.4 does not directly support Hitran2020, neither did 2.3 to be clear. For water, I still think this should still be Ok but I am not sure.
If you want to give it a try, the 'modern' way of dealing with Hitran data in Arts is to download it with the additional tags in the Hitran download interface. On the tab currently called '4. Select or Create Output Format'*, you can create a new output format. To create a new format that works well with Arts, this format should contain at the top the ".par line" tag, as the second option it should contain the " qns' " tag, and as a last option it should have the " qns'' " tag. The field separator and line endings should be the default ([tab] ; (CR LF)). If you manage to download data like this from Hitran, you can give the hitran_type="Online" option in ReadHITRAN. This should give decent results. Again, remember that Arts 2.4 is from before Hitran2020 was released. It is possible this will not work in 2.4. What I describe above works for the development version of Arts (v.2.5). With hope, //Richard * From hitran.org, Data Access -> Line-By-Line -> select H2O and go forward -> go forward (or deselect some isotopologues first) -> go forward (or select some Kayser range first) -> You are now on the right tab to specify output format Den tors 3 feb. 2022 kl 16:06 skrev Pengwang Zhai <pwz...@umbc.edu>: > Hello, ARTS Community, > > I used arts 2.3 to generate gas absorption coefficient lookup table for > o2, co2, etc. One key function was: "abs_linesReadFromHitran”.
