Sasktran Generic

class radtran.sasktran.SasktranGeneric(atmosphere, enginetype, options=None)

Generic wrapper class for SASKTRAN engines. Currently supports HR,MC and SO. More complicated features such as polarization or weighting functions are not supported through this class

Methods

add_line_of_sight
calculate_radiance
set_wavelengths

add_line_of_sight(observer, look, mjd)

Adds a single line of sight to the engine

Parameters:

observer : numpy array, or nxvector

Observer position in (x,y,z) format

look : numpy array, or nxvector

Unit look direction in (x,y,z) format

mjd : scalar

Modified julian date

calculate_radiance()

Calculates the radiance

Returns:

tuple

(rad,zeros) radiance is a numpy array in the shape (line_of_sight, wavelength)

set_wavelengths(wavel_nm)

Sets the wavelengths for the radiative transfer calculation

Parameters:

wavel_nm : numpy array

Wavelengths in nm
