Medium-resolution transmissivities of water vapor were measured at temperatures between 600 and 1550 K for all-important vibration-rotation bands as well as part of the purely rotational band. Measurements were made with an improved drop tube design, which ensures a relatively isothermal high-temperature gas column. Data were collected with a Fourier-transform-infrared-spectrometer, allowing for much better spectral resolution than most previous high-temperature measurements. The measured data were compared to the HITEMP database, as well as with the data of Phillips for the band of . The data show minor discrepancies with the high-resolution database, particularly at higher temperatures, but, in general, agreement is acceptable.
