Abstract
The paper presents some recent advances in rotational spectroscopy linked to atmospheric studies. The preparation of the recent space missions such as Odin or EOS-MLS has induced strong spectroscopic efforts to provide accurate line shape parameters that minimize the errors in the retrieval procedures. A critical evaluation of these parameters is needed. The main points related to line positions, line intensities, line broadenings and line shifts are discussed.
