Hi,Alexander!
A value in the CONTRIBUTION column corresponds to percentage contribution of a selected normal-mode vibration to vibrational entropy (calculated from the vibrational partition function) of a compound in the ideal gas state. Read any book on statistical thermodynamics for more details.
