Jonasz M. 2007. Absorption coefficient of water: Data sources (www.tpdsci.com/Tpc/AbsCfOfWaterDat.php). In: Top. Part. Disp. Sci. (www.tpdsci.com).  

DATA OF
Buiteveld H., Hakvoort J. H., Donze M. 1994. The optical properties of pure water. In: Ocean Optics XII, Jaffe J. J. (ed.) Proc. SPIE 2258, 174-183.



NOTES
All DATA have been obtained by the data authors for the following conditions:
water - purified by reverse osmosis followed by distillation
temperature - 20 °C
method - custom-build absorption meter performing nearly complete angular integration of the scattered light

Data have been rescaled by Jonasz M. to wavelength in µm. 






Each column is separated by a TAB - when you import the file into a spreadsheet all column headings should be aligned with the numbers.
