Hi,
I played a bit around with the script under arts/controlfiles/artscomponents/transmission/TestTransmission.arts.
What I want to do is to simulate the spectral resolved transmission between a point somewhere in the atmosphere and a receiver on ground (line-by-line transmission is taken from HITRAN and the atmospheric model is just a generic mid-latitude summer one). For this, I set rte_pos2 to the position of the sender and rte_pos to the position of the receiver. I then use ppathFromRtePos2 in order to get rte_los.
At the end of the script I added WriteXML( output_file_format, ppath, "ppath.xml" ).
The propagation path still starts at about 80 km height although the height of rte_pos2 is set to about 3 km and the transmission returned within iy seems to be independent of the propagation path length. What might I be doing wrong?
