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

DATA OF
Sawyer W. R. 1931. The spectral absorption of light by pure water and Bay of Fundy water. Contrib. Can. Biol. Fisheries 7, 75-89.





NOTES
All DATA have been obtained by the data author for the following conditions:
water - distilled
temperature - unspecified
method - double-path transmission (the absorption coefficient contains an unspecified contribution from light scattering)

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.
