The near-infrared water vapor absorption is measured in the 2000-8000 cm−1 spectral region. Spectra were recorded using an IFS 125 HR Fourier spectrometer at a temperature of 287 K and a spectral resolution of 0.03 cm−1. The water vapor continuum absorption spectrum is retrieved using the known absorption in the 2500 cm−1 region as a reference point. It is shown that the continuum absorptions in four windows differ by no more than 20% under investigation conditions. This contradicts the MT_CKD continuum model, which predicts a much stronger variability of the continuum in these windows.
