Dear all,

I am trying to simulate GMI with ARTS, some standard ice habits, using DOIT. However, I get an error from DoitGetIncoming: ERROR: Radiance difference between interpolation points is too large (factor 100) to safely interpolate. This might be due to za_grid being too coarse or the radiance field being a step-like function.
Happens at boundary 104 between zenith angles 92.3077 and 96.9231deg
for frequency #2, where radiances are 3.90337e-19 and 4.14798e-17 W/(sr m2 Hz).

I tryed to increase the N_za_grid in DOAngularGridsSet however the error remains, unless I set N_za_grid to a very large number (about 100) that crashes arts. These happens with all the ice habits that I tested (EvansSnowAggregates and LargePlateAggregate). Moreover, I used doit_scat_fieldCalc in the doit_scat_field_agenda (however using doit_scat_fieldCalcLimb does not change much), and I am using ice water contents derived from OnionPeeling code (with CPR profiles). My intention is to simulate a down looking view geometry, so I do not expect that such a fine za grid is needed.

I set the sensor geometry to:
  viewing_angles=0
  sensor_pos=[ 1, 1, 817e3]
  sensor_los=[1, 1, 135.0]
If I run DoitGetIncoming with rigorous=0 the simulation does not give an error, however is it safe? Other option could be to write a za_grid_opt_file like the one in testdata/testdoit_za_grid_opt.xml.
Any hint on how to proceed, would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Daniele Casella
