Key Points

  • The aim is to develop an empirical model for the complex refractive indices of ice and water across various temperatures and wavelengths.
  • Conducted a literature survey on refractive indices of ice and water.
  • Developed an empirical model applicable from -20°C to 0°C for ice and -20°C to 50°C for water.
  • Defined spectral intervals for model application, extending from micrometers to kilometers for ice and meters for water.
  • The model effectively describes complex refractive indices for ice and water across specified temperature ranges.
  • Ice refractive indices are valid from 2 micrometers to several kilometers in wavelength.
  • Water refractive indices are valid from 2 micrometers to several hundred meters in wavelength.

Abstract

A critical survey of the literature is presented. An empirical model of the complex refractive indices for ice and liquid water is constructed from this review. The model is applicable from -20 degrees C to 0 degrees C for ice and from -20 degrees C to 50 degrees C for water. The spectral interval for which the model applies extends from 2 micro, to several thousand kilometers in wavelength for ice and from 2 micro to several hundred meters in wavelength for water.
