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:
Tam A. C., Patel. C. K. N. 1979. Optical absorption of light and heavy water by laser optoacoustic spectroscopy. Appl. Opt. 18: 3348-3358.



NOTES:
All data obtained by the data authors for the following conditions:
water - double-distilled
temperature - 21.5°C
method - photoacoustic spectroscopy.

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.
