Optical constants of water in the infrared
Abstract
The results of our earlier studies of reflection and absorption in various spectral regions are reviewed and then used to provide values of the complex index of refraction of water at 27°C in the spectral range 5000–10 cm−1, corresponding to wavelengths in the range 2 μm to 1 mm. Values of n, k, and the Lambert absorption coefficient a, which are presented graphically and in tabular form, should prove useful in studies of the scattering of infrared radiation by water droplets in the atmosphere and in studies of radiative heat balance at water surfaces.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
