BIBLIOGRAPHY: J. Du, L. Huang, Q. Min, and L. Zhu, "The influence of water vapor absorption in the 290–350 nm region on solar radiance: Laboratory studies and model simulation", Geophys. Res. Lett. 40, 4788-4792 (2013); DOI: 10.1002/grl.50935
COMMENTS: Absorption measurements using cavity ring-down spectroscopy

Cross sections in the 355–365 nm region are too small to be accurately measured.

The errors quoted (third column) represent 1σ scatter from three repeated measurements.

Note that the validity of the data published by Du et al. has been questioned by
