Long-format table of Kd(lambda) values for five oceanic and three coastal water types from Jerlov (1976) and Solonenko & Mobley (2015). Attributes record the supported wavelength range and spacing, a table checksum, source artifact path, build commit, model version, and package version.

Usage

jerlov_types

Format

A data frame with 120 rows and 3 columns:

type

Jerlov water type (character): "I", "IA", "IB", "II", "III" (oceanic, clearest to most turbid) and "C1", "C2", "C3" (coastal).

lambda

Wavelength in nm (350 to 700, 25 nm steps).

Kd

Diffuse attenuation coefficient in 1/m.
