DATA OF Querry M. R., Cary P. G., Waring R. C. 1978. Split-pulse laser method for measuring attenuation coefficient of transparent liquids: application to deionized filtered water in the visible region. Appl. Opt. 17, 3587-3592. NOTES All DATA have been obtained by the data authors. The water was deionized and filtered. The temperature was 26.4 °C. The authors measured the attenuation coefficient, c, with a split-pulse (two-pathlengths) transmission method and subtracted from it the calculated molecular scattering coefficient, bm. Hence, the difference c-bm equals a+bp, where a is the absorption coefficient and bp is the particulate scattering coefficient Data have been rescaled by M. Jonasz (MJC Optical Technology, www.mjcopticaltech.com) to wavelength in μm and absorption coefficient in 1/m. Underscore (_) marks the absence of data. Each column is separated by a TAB. When you import the file into a spreadsheet all column headings should be aligned with the numbers.
