Prof. Hironobu Iwabuchi have made a new compilation of ice optical constant dependent on temperature, for a spectrum from the ultraviolet to the microwave and published in the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. We compiled a new dataset of optical constants (refractive indices) of water ice for a spectrum from ultraviolet to microwave and a temperature range from …
