Hi Patrick!

Thanks for your reply. I think I made some progress, but I'm still running into error messages (now with PSD)

The single scattering data I'm happy with. Basically I'm doing this:

ArrayOfScatteringMetaDataCreate( scat_meta_1habit )
ArrayOfSingleScatteringDataCreate( scat_data_1habit )

#--- TMatrix calculation:
scat_data_singleTmatrix(
   shape               = part_shape,
   diameter_volume_equ = part_dveq,
   aspect_ratio        = part_ar,
   mass                = part_mass,
   ptype               = "totally_random",
   data_f_grid         = data_f_grid,
   data_t_grid         = data_t_grid,
   data_za_grid        = data_za_grid,
   data_aa_grid        = data_aa_grid,
)

#--- Set up scat_data
Append(scat_data_1habit, scat_data_single)
Append(scat_data_raw, scat_data_1habit)
# and meta data ...
Append(scat_meta_1habit, scat_meta_single)
Append(scat_meta, scat_meta_1habit)
#
scat_dataCalc(scat_data, scat_data_raw, f_grid)
scat_data_checkedCalc( scat_data_checked, scat_data, f_grid, 0.1, "none", 5e-2 )
WriteXML( "ascii", scat_data,  "scat_data.xml" )


and when I try to use pnd_agenda_array with psdMonoDispersive I do it like this:

#-- PND AGENDA ARRAY
ArrayOfStringSet( pnd_agenda_input_names, [ "HWC" ] )
ArrayOfStringSet( dpnd_data_dx_names, [ "HWC" ] )

# The input data in pnd_agenda_input shall be number densities, in unit of [#/m3].
ReadXML( pnd_agenda_input, "hail_pnddata.xml" )

ArrayOfAgendaAppend( pnd_agenda_array ){
  VectorSet(pnd_size_grid, [1])
  VectorSet(psd_size_grid, [1])
psdMonoDispersive(psd_data, dpsd_data_dx, pnd_agenda_input_t, pnd_agenda_input, pnd_agenda_input_names, dpnd_data_dx_names, scat_meta, agenda_array_index, 220, 260)
  pndFromPsdBasic
}
Append( scat_species, species_id_string )
Append( pnd_agenda_array_input_names, pnd_agenda_input_names )

But the error message is that:
The method requires that length of *psd_size_grid* is >= 2.

If I understand correctly, pnd_size_grid is the size of each scattering element considered. If I run a monodisperse psd then all scattering elements are the same size ... (?)

The other option I tried to avoid pnd_agenda_array, was reading directly pnd_field from the file. But when doing cloudbox_checkedCalc I run into this error:

The atmospheric field *pnd_field* has wrong size.
Expected size is 1 x 204 x 1 x 1,
while actual size is 1 x 231 x 1 x 1.
Stopping ARTS execution.

Related with cloudboxSetManuallyAltitude

cloudboxSetManuallyAltitude( z1=-2e3, z2=25e3, lat1=-0, lat2=0, lon1=-0, lon2=0 )

I don't understand as my pnd_field is the size of my p_grid.

Thank you!
Vito

Hi,

Yes, this is not totally streamlined. And nothing we will change now
as the handling of scattering data is being rewritten from scratch.

You must do a bit more than you included, as scat_dataCalc requires
scat_data_raw. Not clear from where you get that.

I think you can use Append to move scat_meta_single t0 scat_meta. And
same thing for scat_data_single to scat_data_raw.

Bye,

Patrick

Hello!

I have a bit of an ARTS 'coding-language' question here. I'm trying to run a very simple simulation where I use the T-matrix and I read its corresponding pnd_field_raw from a file. I mainly do the following:


ReadXML( particle_bulkprop_names, "particle_bulkprop_names.xml" )
ReadXML( particle_bulkprop_field, "particle_bulkprop_field.xml" )

scat_data_singleTmatrix

ReadXML( pnd_field_raw, "hail_pnddata.xml" )

scat_dataCalc
scat_data_checkedCalc
WriteXML( "ascii", scat_data,  "scat_data.xml" ) # VB: store scat_data

cloudboxSetManuallyAltitude( z1=-9e3, z2=20e3, lat1=-0, lat2=0, lon1=-0, lon2=0 )

pnd_fieldCalcFromParticleBulkProps

and here is when I run into: 'Method pnd_fieldCalcFromParticleBulkProps needs input variable: scat_meta'

I cant seem to find in the built-in documentation server how to get scat_meta from scat_meta_single. What is the method that does that?

thank you!!!
Vito
