There is a plot from which you can extract that data in the classic E&M text by Jackson. It actually covers most of the EM spectrum, but... – dmckee♦ Aug 6 '12 at 18:38
A quick Google search gave this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption_by_water – hdhondt Aug 7 '12 at 4:11
@hdhondt Unfortunately the plot there ends at 30 GHz and only mentions that absorption is "continuous" from there onwards. – romkyns Aug 7 '12 at 7:48
