◆ add_za_aa()

void add_za_aa ( Numeric za,
Numeric aa,
const Numeric za0,
const Numeric aa0,
const Numeric dza,
const Numeric daa 
)

Adds up zenith and azimuth angles.

Adds (dza,daa) to (za0,aa0), assuming that a unit changes in za and aa are equal where (dza,daa)=(0,0).

Parameters
[out]zaEnd zenith angle
[out]aaEnd azimuth angle
[in]za0Start zenith angle
[in]aa0Start azimuth angle
[in]dzaChange in zenith angle
[in]daaChange in azimuth angle

◆ cart2zaaa()

void cart2zaaa ( Numeric za,
Numeric aa,
const Numeric dx,
const Numeric dy,
const Numeric dz 
)

Converts a cartesian directional vector to zenith and azimuth.

This function and the sister function cart2zaaa handle transformation of line-of-sights. This in contrast to the sph/poslos functions that handles positions, or combinations of positions and line-of-sight.

The cartesian coordinate system used for these two functions can be defined as z : za = 0 x : za=90, aa=0 y : za=90, aa=90

Parameters
[out]zaLOS zenith angle at observation position.
[out]aaLOS azimuth angle at observation position.
[in]dxx-part of LOS unit vector.
[in]dyy-part of LOS unit vector.
[in]dzz-part of LOS unit vector.

◆ diff_za_aa()

void diff_za_aa ( Numeric dza,
Numeric daa,
const Numeric za0,
const Numeric aa0,
const Numeric za,
const Numeric aa 
)

Takes the difference of zenith and azimuth angles.

Takes the difference between a set of angles (za,aa) and a reference direction (za0,aa0). That is, this function is the "inverse" of add_za_aa.

Parameters
[out]dzaChange in zenith angle
[out]daaChange in azimuth angle
[in]za0Zenith angle of reference direction
[in]aa0Azimuth angle of reference direction
[in]zaZenith angle of second direction
[in]aaAzimuth angle of second direction

◆ is_los_downwards()

bool is_los_downwards ( const Numeric za,
const Numeric tilt 
)

Determines if a line-of-sight is downwards compared to the angular tilt of the surface or a pressure level.

For example, this function can be used to determine if the line-of-sight goes into the surface for a starting point exactly on the surface radius.

As the radius of the surface and pressure levels varies as a function of latitude, it is not clear if a zenith angle of 90 is above or below e.g. the surface.

Parameters
[in]zaZenith angle of line-of-sight.
[in]tiltAngular tilt of the surface or the pressure level (as returned by plevel_angletilt)
Returns
Boolean that is true if LOS is downwards.

)

Handles the crossing with a geometric ppaths step and a atmospheric grid box level for 2D.

That is, we have a part of a pressure level or the planet's surface, extending between two latitudes (lat1 and lat3). The radius at each latitude is given (r1 and r3). The function first of determines if the ppath crosses the level/surface between the two latitudes. If yes, the radius and the latitude of the crossing point are calculated.

If the given path point is on the pressure level (rp=r0), the solution of zero length is rejected.

Parameters
[out]rRadius at crossing.
[out]latLatitude at crossing.
[out]lLength between start and crossing points.
[in]r_start0Radius of start point.
[in]lat_startLatitude of start point.
[in]za_startLOS zenith angle at start point.
[in]ppcPropagation path constant.
[in]lat1Latitude of lower end.
[in]lat3Latitude of upper end.
[in]r1Radius at lat1.

◆ plevel_slope_2d() [1/2]

void plevel_slope_2d ( Numeric c1,
ConstVectorView  lat_grid,
ConstVectorView  refellipsoid,
ConstVectorView  z_surf,
const GridPos gp,
const Numeric za 
)

Calculates the radial slope of the surface or a pressure level for 2D.

The radial slope is here the derivative of the radius with respect to the latitude. The unit is accordingly m/degree.

Note that the radius is defined to change linearly between grid points, and the slope is constant between to points of the latitude grid. The radius can inside the grid range be expressed as r = r0(lat0) + c1*(lat-lat0) .

Note also that the slope is always calculated with respect to increasing latitudes, independently of the zenith angle. The zenith angle is only used to determine which grid range that is of interest when the position is exactly on top of a grid point.

Parameters
[out]c1The radial slope [m/degree]
[in]lat_gridThe latitude grid.
[in]refellipsoidAs the WSV with the same name.
[in]z_surfGeometrical altitude of the surface, or the pressure level of interest, for the latitide dimension
[in]gpLatitude grid position for the position of interest
[in]zaLOS zenith angle.

void plevel_slope_2d ( Numeric c1,

Calculates the radial slope of the surface or a pressure level for 2D.

This function returns the same quantity as the function above, but takes the radius and latitude at two points of the pressure level, instead of vector input. That is, for this function the interesting latitude range is known when calling the function.

Parameters
[out]c1The radial slope [m/degree]
[in]lat1A latitude.
[in]lat2Another latitude.
[in]r1Radius at lat1.

)

Calculates the radial slope of the surface or a pressure level for 3D.

For 2D where the radius can be expressed as r = r0 + c1*dalpha, where alpha is the latitude. The radius is here for 3D expressed as a second order polynomial: r = r0 + c1*dalpha + c2*dalpha^2, where alpha is the angular change (in degrees) along the great circle along the given azimuth angle.

For a point exactly on a grid value it is not clear if it is the range below or above that is of interest. The azimuth angle is used to resolve such cases.

Parameters
[out]c1See above. Unit is m/degree.
[out]c2See above. Unit is m/degree^2.
[in]lat_gridThe latitude grid.
[in]lon_gridThe longitude grid.
[in]refellipsoidAs the WSV with the same name.

◆ ppath_start_stepping()

void ppath_start_stepping ( Ppath ppath,
const Index atmosphere_dim,
ConstVectorView  p_grid,
ConstVectorView  lat_grid,
ConstVectorView  lon_grid,
ConstTensor3View  z_field,
ConstVectorView  refellipsoid,

const Index cloudbox_on,
const ArrayOfIndex cloudbox_limits,
const bool &  outside_cloudbox,
ConstVectorView  rte_pos,
ConstVectorView  rte_los,
const Verbosity verbosity 
)

Initiates a Ppath structure for calculation of a path with ppath_step.

The function performs two main tasks. As mentioned above, it initiates a Ppath structure (a), but it also checks that the end point of the path is at an allowed location (b).

(a): The Ppath structure is set to hold the position and LOS of the last point of the path inside the atmosphere. This point is either the sensor position, or the point where the path leaves the model atmosphere. If the path is totally outside the atmosphere, no point is put into the structure. If the (practical) end and start points are identical, such as when the sensor is inside the cloud box, the background field is set.

(b): If it is found that the end point of the path is at an illegal position a detailed error message is given. Not allowed cases are:

  1. The sensor is placed below surface level.
  2. For 2D and 3D, the path leaves the model atmosphere at a latitude or longitude end face.
  3. For 2D and 3D, the path is totally outside the atmosphere and the latitude and longitude of the tangent point is outside the range of the corresponding grids.

All input variables are identical with the WSV with the same name. The output variable is here called ppath for simplicity, but is in fact ppath_step.

Parameters
[in]ppathOutput: A Ppath structure.
[in]atmosphere_dimThe atmospheric dimensionality.
[in]p_gridThe pressure grid.
[in]lat_gridThe latitude grid.
[in]lon_gridThe longitude grid.
[in]z_fieldThe field of geometrical altitudes.
[in]refellipsoidAs the WSV with the same name.
[in]z_surfaceSurface altitude.
[in]cloudbox_onFlag to activate the cloud box.
[in]cloudbox_limitsIndex limits of the cloud box.
[in]ppath_inside_cloudbox_doAs the WSV with the same name.
[in]rte_posThe position of the sensor.
[in]rte_losThe line-of-sight of the sensor.

◆ ppath_step_geom_1d()

void ppath_step_geom_1d ( Ppath ppath,
ConstVectorView  z_field,
ConstVectorView  refellipsoid,
const Numeric z_surface,
const Numeric lmax 
)

Calculates 1D geometrical propagation path steps.

This is the core function to determine 1D propagation path steps by pure geometrical calculations. Path points are included for crossings with the grids, tangent points and points of intersection with the surface. In addition, points are included in the propgation path to ensure that the distance along the path between the points does not exceed the selected maximum length (lmax). If lmax is <= 0, this means that no length criterion shall be applied.

Note that the input variables are here compressed to only hold data for a 1D atmosphere. For example, z_field is z_field(:,0,0).

For more information read the chapter on propagation paths in AUG.

Parameters
[in]ppathOutput: A Ppath structure.
[in]z_fieldGeometrical altitudes corresponding to p_grid.
[in]refellipsoidAs the WSV with the same name.
[in]z_surfaceSurface altitude.
[in]lmaxMaximum allowed length between the path points.

◆ resolve_lon()

void resolve_lon ( Numeric lon,
const Numeric lon5,
const Numeric lon6 
)

Resolves which longitude angle that shall be used.

Longitudes are allowed to vary between -360 and 360 degress, while the inverse trigonomtric functions returns values between -180 and 180. This function determines if the longitude shall be shifted -360 or +360 to fit the longitudes set by the user.

The argument lon as input is a value calculated by some inverse trigonometric function. The arguments lon5 and lon6 are the lower and upper limit for the probable range for lon. The longitude lon* will be shifted with -360 or +360 degrees if lon is significantly outside lon5 and lon6. No error is given if it is not possible to obtain a value between lon5 and lon6.

Parameters
[in,out]lonLongitude, possible shifted when returned.
[in]lon5Lower limit of probable range for lon.
[in]lon6Upper limit of probable range for lon

◆ rotationmat3D()

void rotationmat3D ( Matrix R,
ConstVectorView  vrot,
const Numeric a 
)

Creates a 3D rotation matrix.

Creates a rotation matrix such that R * x, operates on x by rotating x around the origin a radians around line connecting the origin to the point vrot.

The function is based on rotationmat3D.m, by Belechi (the function is found in atmlab).

Parameters
[out]RRotation matrix
[in]vrotRotation axis
[in]aRotation angle

◆ rslope_crossing2d()

Numeric rslope_crossing2d ( const Numeric rp,
const Numeric za,
const Numeric r0,
Numeric  c1 
)

Calculates the angular distance to a crossing with a level having a radial slope.

The function solves the problem for a pressure level, or the planet's surface, where the radius changes linearly as a function of angle. No analytical solution to the original problem has been found. The problem involves sine and cosine of the latitude difference and these functions are replaced with their Taylor expansions where the two first terms are kept. This should be OK for most practical situations (the accuracy should be sufficient for values up to 1 degree?).

The problem and its solution is further described in AUG. See the chapter on propagation paths. The variable names below are the same as in AUG.

Both positive and negative zenith angles are handled.

The function only looks for crossings in the forward direction of the given zenith angle.

If the given path point is on the pressure level (rp=r0), the solution 0 is rejected. The latitude difference is set to 999 if no crossing exists.

The cases c=0, za=0 and za=180 are not allowed.

Parameters
[in]rpRadius of a point of the path inside the grid cell
[in]zaZenith angle of the path at rp.
[in]r0Radius of the pressure level or the surface at the latitude of rp.
[in]c1Linear slope term, as returned by plevel_slope_2d.
Returns
The angular distance to the crossing.

◆ zaaa2cart()

void zaaa2cart ( Numeric dx,
Numeric dy,
Numeric dz,
const Numeric za,
const Numeric aa 
)

Converts zenith and azimuth angles to a cartesian unit vector.

This function and the sister function cart2zaaa handles transformation of line-of-sights. This in contrast to the sph/poslos functions that handles positions, or combinations of positions and line-of-sight.

The cartesian coordinate system used for these two functions can be defined as z : za = 0 x : za=90, aa=0 y : za=90, aa=90

Parameters
[out]dxx-part of LOS unit vector.
[out]dyy-part of LOS unit vector.
[out]dzz-part of LOS unit vector.
[in]zaLOS zenith angle at observation position.
[in]aaLOS azimuth angle at observation position.
