Home :: The Observatory :: Data Products :: Reference Absorption

Reference Absorption is the amount of light measured by the reference detector. By dividing the Signal Absorption by the Reference Absorption the proportion of light absorbed as the light travelled to the receiver detector can be calculated. These values are part of the calculation for Optical Absorption Coefficient.
