Get phytoplankton absorption coefficients (aphstar) for selected wavebands

Description

If lambda contains wavebands that are not integer values, the value will be interpolated. Bands must be within 400-700nm (inclusive).

Usage

get_aphstar(lambda)

Arguments

lambda

Numeric vector of wavebands (nanometers)

Value

Numeric vector of aphstar coefficients corresponding to lambda
