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. The water was distilled. The temperature is unspecified. A double-path transmission was used. The absorption coefficient so obtained contains an unspecified contribution from light scattering. Data have been rescaled by M. Jonasz (MJC Optical Technology, www.mjcopticaltech.com) 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.
