Abstract

\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0pt} \includegraphics[scale=0.22]{cross-section.eps} \end{wrapfigure} Water vapor absorption in the near-ultraviolet region is essential to describing the energy budget of Earth, but little spectroscopic information is currently available since it is a challenging spectral region for both experimental and theoretical studies. A continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopic experiment was built to record the weak absorption of water vapor in the \textit{near}-UV region around 415~nm. This is a region that is still missing in laboratory measurements. A minimum absorption coefficient detection of around $4\times10^{-10}~cm^{-1}$ was reached and over 40 ro-vibrational transitions of H$_2^{16}$O determined in this work. A comparison of line positions and intensities determined in this work to the most recent HITRAN2020 database will be presented. We calculate water vapor absorption cross-sections from our measurements and compare them with recent observations (Pei et al., 2019\footnote{Pei, et al., Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres; 124(24):14310-14324.}; Du et al., 2013\footnote{Du et al., Geophysical Research Letters; 40(17):4788-4792.}; Dupr\'e et al., 2005\footnote{Dupr\'e et al., The Journal of Chemical Physics; 123(15): 154307}; Wilson et al., 2016\footnote{Wilson et al., Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer; 295(170): 194-199.}; Lampel et al., 2017\footnote{Lampel et al., Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics; 17(2): 1271–1295.}) and simulations (Gordon et al., 2022\footnote{Gordon et al., Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer; 277.}).
