Absorption and solar radiation spectra

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for absorption spectra of fresh water and ice across the UV to IR wavelength range, as well as the solar radiation spectrum at Earth's surface, accounting for atmospheric effects. Users are encouraged to seek tabular data rather than graphical representations. The conversation highlights the importance of accessing scientific journal articles for reliable data sources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of UV to IR wavelength ranges
  • Familiarity with absorption spectra concepts
  • Knowledge of atmospheric effects on solar radiation
  • Experience in sourcing scientific journal articles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the absorption spectra of water and ice in scientific literature
  • Explore databases like the NASA Langley Research Center for solar radiation data
  • Learn about atmospheric correction techniques for solar radiation measurements
  • Investigate tools for visualizing and analyzing spectral data
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in environmental science, atmospheric scientists, and anyone involved in studying solar radiation and its interaction with water and ice.

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can advise me on the best place to find the absorption spectra for water (fresh) and ice, for the wavelength range UV to IR. Also, I'm looking for the solar radiation spectrum at the surface of the Earth (i.e. after atmospheric effects have been taken into account).

It would be helpful, if possible, to get my hands on tabular figures rather than just graphical visualisations.

I realize that this information might be contained in journal articles and the like - that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks in advance,
