Considering the unique role that water in its vapor phase plays in atmospheric physical and chemical processes, there is a need for accurate spectroscopic parameters for this molecule. Long-pathlength Fourier transform spectra of water vapor with synthetic air as the perturbing gas were recorded and analyzed in the 26,000-13,000 cm-1 spectral region. New measurements of air-broadening and air-shifting parameters, with associated uncertainties are presented for about 5000 lines. These data complement our existing database, providing a homogeneous and extensive dataset extending from 26,000 to 9250 cm-1. Comparisons with the two most frequently used HITRAN and ESA databases as well as with other literature data available are made. Agreements and discrepancies are underlined and briefly discussed.
