Dear Huang,

OK, now I understand a bit better what you have done, but could not 
follow all details. So let me discuss the theory here in general terms.

If we forget about polarisation (stokes_dim=1), we can write the 
radiance a satellite measures as:

I = I_d*r*exp(-tau) + (1-r)*B*exp(-tau) + I_u

I assume the nomenclature is clear here. This can be written as

I = I_s*exp(-tau) + I_u

with I_s = I_d*r + (1-r)*B

You seem to extract I_s correctly by storing the output of iySurfaceFastem.

But what about I_u? Please note that I_u is NOT equal to I_d. I get the 
impression that you assume I_u = I_d, which is wrong.

(Don't get fooled by the fact that tau is independent of direction.)

In fact, it is not easy to calculate I_u by ARTS. To do this you need to 
set r=0 and the surface temperature to zero! I don't think nobody has 
tested this.

Another possible pitfall is that the "los" zenith angle" differs between 
the surface and satellite altitude.

(Another possible error is that the equations above can only be written 
in radiance, or RJ-Tb. Planck-Tb involves a non-linear mapping and that 
would make the equations above invalid if I_u or I_d is small. But that 
is likely not the problem here.)

Kind regards,

Patrick
