Yet, experimental uncertainties do exist, as in any measurement. Overlooked problems in data collection, processing, and interpretation have repercussions for applications in mineral physics, planetary science, and astronomy. Random errors (i.e., noise) are fairly obvious, and are not discussed here. The concern is subtle and overlooked errors that arise in acquisition, processing, and interpretation of spectral data. These types of errors are systematic, not random. This chapter identifies various systematic errors and problems that the author encountered in her efforts to provide absolute values of absorbance or...
