NOTES
As stated by the data authors, the data are based on measurement results obtained by various authors (interpolated by a linear approximation where applicable):
Wavelength	Reference
200–335 nm	Smith R. C., Baker K. S. 1981. Optical properties of the clearest natural waters (200-800 nm). Appl. Opt. 20, 177-184.
340–370 nm	Sogandares F. M., Fry, E. S. 1997. Absorption spectrum (340 -640 nm) of pure water. I. Photothermal measurements Appl. Opt. 36, 8699-8709.
