Four editions of the High Resolution Transmission (HITRAN) databases (HITRAN96, HITRAN2K,
HITRAN04, and HITRAN08) are compared by using a line-by-line (LBL) radiative model in the long-wave
calculation for six typical atmospheres. The results show that differences in downward radiative fluxes
between HITRAN96 and HITRAN08 at the surface can reach a maximum of 1.70 W m–2 for tropical
atmospheres. The largest difference in heating rate between HITRAN96 and HITRAN08 can reach 0.1 K
day–1 for midlatitude summer atmosphere. Uncertainties caused by line intensity and air-broadened halfwidths
are also evaluated in this work using the uncertainty codes given in HITRAN08. The uncertainty
is found to be 1.92 W m–2 for upward fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and 1.97 W m?2 for
downward fluxes at the surface. The largest heating rate caused by the uncertainty of line intensity and
air-broadened half-width can reach 0.5 K day–1. The differences in optical depths between 1300 and 1700
cm?1 caused by different HITRAN versions are larger than those caused by the uncertainties in intensity
and air-broadened half-width. This paper suggests that there is inaccurate representation of line parameters
over some spectral ranges in HITRAN and more attention should be paid to these ranges in fields such as
remote sensing.
