Case 1A: Check of the Line Absorption Implementation. ************************************************************************ The aim of this case is to check the correct model implementation for line absorption calculation. Line-by-line calculations will be carried out for a set of selected species and for given frequencies. In order to avoid the inconsistency due to variations in input parameters, full spectroscopic data, polynomial coefficients used to compute the partition function, and the isotopic ratio for each isotope of each target species are delivered. For the given specifications the participants should compute the absorption coefficients for given pressure/altitude levels. Input - Output Files -------------------- Format: ======== The files (except the spectroscopic data file) are ASCII, in ARTS format. They can easily be recognized by the extension 'aa'. The file can start with an arbitrary number of comment lines. These lines starts with the hash symbol (#) The first row after the comment lines give the number of matrices in the array. After this follows, for each matrix, a row giving the matrix size followed by the data in row order. Input: ======= - KeySpecies_case1A.txt -->> a text file which gives the set of the target species for which the absorption coefficients should be calculated. - atm_scenario_case1A.aa -->> profiles of temperature, altitude, pressure, and trace gas volume mixing ratios. The data is display in ARTS format. See the header of the file for a more detailed description. - Freq_mono_case1A.aa-->> frequency values for which the calculation should be performed. - Spectro_data_case1A.dat -->> spectroscopic data for the key species. The data is displayed in HITRAN format. - FuncPartition_IsotopicRatio.txt: a text file which gives the 4 polynomial coefficients for the calculation of partition functions (a + b*T + c*T^2 + d*T3), and isotopic ratios for each isotope of each given species. - line shape : Voigt (Lorenz if Voigt is not available), no cutoff -->> the line shape for the calculation. - p_z_abs_case1A.aa -->> a 2 column matrix giving the pressure and the altitude grid for the output of the absorption coefficients. The first column contains the levels in pressure units [Pa], while the second column contains the corresponding levels in geometric altitude units [m]. Output: ======== - absorption coefficients on the grid given in p_z_abs_case1A.aa. The output file should be in ARTS format. Each data row will give the absorption coefficients for the given frequencies, at one pressure/altitude level.
