Optical Properties

Optical property objects provide the absorption, extinction and scattering of individual molecules/particles in the atmosphere. They are created using the ISKOpticalProperty class and are used by the radiative transfer engines to calculate scattering, extinction and absorption in the atmosphere. Many optical property classes are solely focused on the properties of a single molecule while a few classes support several species (eg Hitran). The majority of optical properties depend upon atmospheric state, typically local pressure and/or temperature, and this information is provided to the optical property object as a climatology and location (lat, lon, height, utc).
