In this paper, we analyze the calculated intensities in order to learn how the intensities will change when analytic quadrupole-moment functions fitted to the <em>ab initio</em> and experimental data are used instead of spline-interpolated functions. We found that the use of splines does not deteriorate the intensities and does not lead to nonphysical saturation, as in heavier molecules, owing to the high precision of the <em>ab initio</em> data and the high density of the grid. The accuracy of the calculated intensities is estimated up to high overtones. Extraction of new spectroscopic information from the observational data that supplements the laboratory measurements is performed.
