A method is proposed for decomposing into components by computer the partially resolved polarization CARS spectra of the /nu//sub OH/ Raman band of stretching vibrations of liquid water under various experimental conditions. The spectroscopic parameters of the /nu//sub OH/ band of the components at water temperatures of 5 /degree/C and 20 /degree/C are given. It is shown that single-mode-continuum models and mixed models of the structure of liquid water (in the 5--60 /degree/C range) contradict the results of experiments on polarization CARS.
