DATA OF
Robertson C. W., Williams D. 1971. Lambert absorption coefficients of water in the infrared. J. Opt. Soc. Am. 61, 1316-1320.





NOTES
All DATA have been obtained by the data authors for the following conditions:
water - unspecified purity
temperature - unspecified
method - single-path transmission. Contribution from light scattering is insignificant at the wavelength range used by the data authors.

Data have been rescaled by Jonasz M. to the absorption coefficient to 1/m. 






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