Notes.

(a)

Description from theoretical calculations (see text).

(b)

Derived from the optical constants available in the literature (see Sect. 4).

(c)

From Ferraro et al. (1980).

(d)

Estimated errors in the band strengths of the crystalline forms are derived from the corresponding percentual error calculated for the amorphous ice.

(e)

The band strength has been calculated for the whole band including the two components.

(f)

From Anderson et al. (1988).

(g)

From Bertie & Whalley (1967).

(h)

From Brown & King (1970).
