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

<b>Temperature-Dependent Thermal IR Optical Constants of Water from Data Archaeology</b> <b>(v1.0)</b><br><br>OVERVIEW:<br>These files contain temperature-dependent thermal IR optical constants of water derived from a data archaeology and rescue of reflectance data originally published by <i>Pinkley et al.</i> (1977).<br>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 <i>Hale &amp; Querry,</i> (25^oC, 298 K); <i>Bertie &amp; Lan </i>(25^oC, 298 K); <i>Downing &amp; Williams </i>(27^oC, 300 K); <i>Pontier &amp; Dechambenoy</i> (27^oC, 300 K); <i>Segelstein</i> (30^oC, 303 K); and<i> Wieliczka et al. </i>(30^oC, 303 K).<br><br>These data are described in the companion paper "Temperature-dependent optical constants of water in the thermal infrared derived from data archaeology" (<i>Nalli et al.,</i> <i>Optics Continuum,</i> 2022, doi:10.1364/OPTCON.450833).<br><br>NETCDF VARIABLE DEFINITIONS:<br><i><b>T:</b></i> Temperature (K) [1 x <i>n</i>_temp]<br><i><b>v:</b></i> Wavenumber (cm^-1) [<i>n</i>_chan x 1]<br><i><b>n:</b></i> Refractive Index, Re(<i>N_v</i>) [<i>n</i>_chan x <i>n</i>_temp]<br><i><b>k:</b></i> Extinction Coefficient, Im(<i>N_v</i>) [<i>n</i>_chan x <i>n</i>_temp]<br><b>d<i>n:</i></b> Friedman Salinity Correction for <i>n</i> [<i>n</i>_chan x 1]<br><b>d<i>k:</i></b> Friedman Salinity Correction for <i>k</i> [<i>n</i>_chan x 1]<br>CONTACT<b>:</b><br>Dr. Nicholas R.
