		Hello group,

Ken and I have done some work on our algorithm using new water
absorption (a_w) coefs from Ed Fry.  This newest version of our alg
differs from the earlier version in 3 significant ways:

1. New a_w coefs.  The new coefs are in general lower than the coefs
reported in Pope's dissertation, and he has recently submitted them to
Appl. Opt.  

2. Spectral slope of gelbstoff absorption curve (S) changes from 0.019
to 0.0225.  Gelbstoff fluorescence is not included in our model, yet it
adds radiance at 443 nm more so than at 412 nm.  This can help explain
why the new S is so high.

3. Our default empirical alg now uses a 3rd order polynomial fit on
log-transformed data.  The coefs for the default alg were determined
using a combination of the following data sets: Carder, NABE, EQPAC
below sfc, and EQPAC above sfc (from Curt Davis) (n=378).
