Abstract

This article presents the raw and analysed data on the absorption features of 30 pigments commonly occurring in phytoplankton. All unprocessed absorption spectra are given between 350 and 800 nm. The presented data also gives information on the wavelength of the main absorption peaks together with associated magnitudes of the concentration-specific absorption coefficient.
