Abstract: Sunspot infrared absorption spectra have recently been reported which are highly congested with spectral lines thought to be due to water. We have completed a theoretical interpretation of these spectra using a new accurate ab initio water linelist (Polyansky et al. 1997a). This treatment led to vibration-rotation quantum number assignments for individual lines of both sunspot (T ~3200 K) and water laboratory measurements (T ~1800 K). We have assigned ~1300 sunspot lines and ~3000 laboratory lines in the M band (Polyansky et al. 1997b) and ~500 sunspot lines in the K band (Polyansky et al. 1997c).
