The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) aboard the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, to be launched this year, mandates high-accuracy spectral reference data for CO and H2O in the 2.3µm region [1]. We present measurements of absorption line parameters for H2O and for the 2-0 rovibrational band of CO to be used in TROPOMI atmospheric retrievals. The experiments were carried out on a Bruker IFS 125HR Fourier transform spectrometer and a multispectrum fitting software developed at DLR was used for parameter retrieval [2] using the Hartmann-Tran-Profile [3,4]. In the case of carbon monoxide, we report line intensities, air-broadening and -shift parameters for lines of the 2-0 rovibrational band, which serve as a useful validation of the HITRAN2012 spectral database [5] while our analysis of Dicke narrowing, speed dependence and Rosenkranz line mixing emphasizes the importance of modern line shape functions. Comparisons with previous studies of these non-Voigt parameters (e.g. [6]) show good agreement. As for H2O, spectral parameters were measured in the 4190cm-1-4340cm-1 spectral range. Comparisons of measured line intensities of the ν3 band show remarkable agreement (<1.5% deviation on average) with ab initio values [7,8] and we will present air-broadening, -narrowing and -shift parameters together with their temperature dependences.
