"RED CLAY" mass-specific mineral absorption coefficient, amin*(wavelength) in m^2/gm, for use by IOP (ab) routines. These values times the concentration of mineral particles in gm/m^3 give the absoption coefficient of the mineral particles in 1/m. These values are taken from Fig 4-3A of Y-H Ahn, "Proprietes optiques des particules biologiques et minerales...," Univ. P. & M. Curie, Paris, France, 1999. Data were for 400-700 nm. WARNING: Extrapolated by eye and splines to 300 and 1000 nm for use in H5.0 Spectrum may be unrealistic in the 300-400 and 700-1000 nm regions wavelen amin* (nm) (m^2/gm) 300.0 0.22000 305.0 0.21246 310.0 0.20514 315.0 0.19803 320.0 0.19115 325.0 0.18449 330.0 0.17806 335.0 0.17188 340.0 0.16596 345.0 0.16033 350.0 0.15500 355.0 0.14999 360.0 0.14527 365.0 0.14079 370.0 0.13651 375.0 0.13239 380.0 0.12840 385.0 0.12449 390.0 0.12065 395.0 0.11683 400.0 0.11300 405.0 0.10914 410.0 0.10523 415.0 0.10124 420.0 0.09717 425.0 0.09300 430.0 0.08873 435.0 0.08446 440.0 0.08033 445.0 0.07646 450.0 0.07300 455.0 0.07004 460.0 0.06748 465.0 0.06521 470.0 0.06309 475.0 0.06100 480.0 0.05884 485.0 0.05663 490.0 0.05440 495.0 0.05217 500.0 0.05000 505.0 0.04790 510.0 0.04587 515.0 0.04388 520.0 0.04193 525.0 0.04000 530.0 0.03807 535.0 0.03612 540.0 0.03414 545.0 0.03211 550.0 0.03000 555.0 0.02781 560.0 0.02562 565.0 0.02353 570.0 0.02162 575.0 0.02000 580.0 0.01874 585.0 0.01778 590.0 0.01706 595.0 0.01649 600.0 0.01600 605.0 0.01554 610.0 0.01510 615.0 0.01469 620.0 0.01432 625.0 0.01400 630.0 0.01374 635.0 0.01352 640.0 0.01334 645.0 0.01317 650.0 0.01300 655.0 0.01282 660.0 0.01263 665.0 0.01242 670.0 0.01221 675.0 0.01200 680.0 0.01178 685.0 0.01157 690.0 0.01137 695.0 0.01117 700.0 0.01100 705.0 0.01085 710.0 0.01072 715.0 0.01061 720.0 0.01052 725.0 0.01044 730.0 0.01037 735.0 0.01032 740.0 0.01027 745.0 0.01023 750.0 0.01020 755.0 0.01017 760.0 0.01015 765.0 0.01013 770.0 0.01011 775.0 0.01010 780.0 0.01008 785.0 0.01007 790.0 0.01005 795.0 0.01003 800.0 0.01000 805.0 0.00997 810.0 0.00994 815.0 0.00990 820.0 0.00986 825.0 0.00981 830.0 0.00977 835.0 0.00972 840.0 0.00967 845.0 0.00961 850.0 0.00956 855.0 0.00950 860.0 0.00945 865.0 0.00939 870.0 0.00934 875.0 0.00928 880.0 0.00922 885.0 0.00917 890.0 0.00911 895.0 0.00905 900.0 0.00900 905.0 0.00895 910.0 0.00889 915.0 0.00884 920.0 0.00879 925.0 0.00874 930.0 0.00869 935.0 0.00864 940.0 0.00859 945.0 0.00854 950.0 0.00849 955.0 0.00845 960.0 0.00840 965.0 0.00835 970.0 0.00830 975.0 0.00825 980.0 0.00820 985.0 0.00815 990.0 0.00810 995.0 0.00805 1000.0 0.00800 -1.0 -1.0000
