The HITRAN compilation of the SAO (HIgh resolution TRANmission
molecular absorption database) is used for predicting and simulating
transmission and emission of light in atmospheres. It is the
world-standard database in molecular spectroscopy. The journal article
describing it is the most cited reference in the geosciences. There
are presently about 5000 HITRAN users world-wide. Applications include
NASA Earth observations, the Department of Energy Atmospheric
Radiation Measurement program for monitoring climate change, DoD
surveillance of aircraft and rockets, and process control in industry.
