NOTES:
The data have been compiled (interpolated) by the data authors from various sources in the following wavelength ranges:

25 to 200 µm, Draegert et al (1966) 

The data have been re-scaled by Jonasz M. to the absorption coefficient in m^(-1)

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