DATA OF
Kopelevich O. V., Filippov Y. V. 1994. Comparison between different spectral models of the diffuse attenuation and absorption coefficients of seawater. In: Ocean Optics XII, Jaffe J. S. (ed.) Proc. SPIE 2258, 210-221.



NOTES
The absorption coefficient values have been derived by the data authors by analyzing selected existing data on the diffuse attenuation coefficient of the clearest ocean waters.











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