CITATION:			
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:			
Sullivan S. A. 1963. Experimental study of the absorption in distilled water, artificial sea water, and heavy water in the visible region of the spectrum. J. Opt. Soc. Am. 53, 962-968.
			
			

NOTES:			
All data were obtained by the data authors for the following conditions:
water - triple-distilled
temperature - 23°C
method - transmission measurement
Errors in the wavelength range of 400-450 are those for the heavy water. These errors should be treated as the first-order approximation.			

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