title: ABG-IMRHT and Ames-2000K IR line lists for N2O as reported in "Accurate N2O IR Line Lists with Consistent Empirical Line Positions: ABG-IMRHT and Ames-2000K"

description: [14N216O J=151-210 transitions are accidentally missing from this version (1.0).  Updated datasets (v.1.1) are available at 10.5281/zenodo.14834513]

1. Second generation of Ames-296K IR line list for "natural" Nitrous Oxide (N2O), denoted ABG-IMRHT, which was computed from Ames-B1b PES refinement (using Benjamin Schröder's ab initio PES, doi:10.1515/zpch-2015-0622) and 2023 dmsG-10K accurately fitted from CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(T,Q,5)Z dipoles. In this major upgrade to Ames-296K N2O line list (10.1080/00268976.2023.2232892 and 10.5281/zenodo.7888194), rovibrational energy levels computed from NOSL-296 EH model were adopted to match and replace ~100,000 14N216O levels.  More consistent empirical corrections are determined for multiple isotopologues from comparison with RITZ (IAO), MARVEL (ExoMol), HITRAN, and JPL datasets.  The ABG-IMRHT line list provides the most reliable and consistent IR intensity predictions and accurate line positions in the range of 0 - 10,000 cm-1. All 12 stable isotopologues are included. 

2. Ames-2000K IR line list provides complete, reliable and consistent IR predictions in the 0 - 15,000 cm-1 range. It includes transitions of 12 isotopologues. Their intensities are scaled by corresponding terrestrial "natural" abundances. Ames-2000K is a composite list, including 4 component lists, to achieve better accuracy and reliability needs at both shorter and longer wavelengths: 



#1. a hot line list of 14N216O, computed on Ames-1 PES and 2023 dmsG-wgt2d, J'<210, E'<25,000 cm-1, T=1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 3000 K.  It occupies 24 GB in compressed .xz format.  

#2. 1000 K line lists of #2-#12 minor isotopologues, computed on Ames-1 PES and DMS, J'<150, E'<0.125 au - zpe (iso 2-6) or 0.08 -0.10 au - zpe (iso 7-12), S1000K > 10-34 cm/molecule, size-reduction with 99.9% intensity conservation in cm-1 bins. 

#3. a hot line list of 14N216O, computed on Ames-B1b PES and 2023 dmsG-10Kcm-1, J'<150, E'<16,000 cm-1, T=1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 3000 K.

#4. ABG-IMRHT IR line list at 296 K, J'<150, E'<16,000 cm-1, with best empirical line positions and highly consistent intensity predictions up to 10,000 cm-1.  Coverage beyond 10,000 cm-1 is limited to strong lines.
