A number of interesting papers have been published in the special issue of JQSRT (52, 1994) devoted to atmospheric spectroscopy applications. One has to mention in particular the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Database which combines the best currently available line parameters (76), a PC/AT new version of Geisa Data bank (77), and the TDS spectroscopic databank for spherical tops like CH4, CF4, etc. (78).
