Temperature-Dependent Thermal IR Optical Constants of Water from Data Archaeology (v1.0)

Temperature-Dependent Thermal IR Optical Constants of Water from Data Archaeology (v1.0)OVERVIEW:These files contain temperature-dependent thermal IR optical constants of water derived from a data archaeology and rescue of reflectance data originally published by Pinkley et al. (1977).The six (6) NetCDF files contain lookup tables (LUT) of the temperature-dependent optical constants for each of the 6 previously published datasets referenced, namely Hale & Querry, (25oC, 298 K); Bertie & Lan (25oC, 298 K); Downing & Williams (27oC, 300 K); Pontier & Dechambenoy (27oC, 300 K); Segelstein (30oC, 303 K); and Wieliczka et al. (30oC, 303 K).These data are described in the companion paper "Temperature-dependent optical constants of water in the thermal infrared derived from data archaeology" (Nalli et al., Optics Continuum, 2022, doi:10.1364/OPTCON.450833).NETCDF VARIABLE DEFINITIONS:T: Temperature (K) [1 x ntemp]v: Wavenumber (cm-1) [nchan x 1]n: Refractive Index, Re(Nv) [nchan x ntemp]k: Extinction Coefficient, Im(Nv) [nchan x ntemp]dn: Friedman Salinity Correction for n [nchan x 1]dk: Friedman Salinity Correction for k [nchan x 1]CONTACT:Dr. Nicholas R.
