Re: [arts-users] question about the simulation of inhomogeneous cloud

2019-01-09 Thread Patrick Eriksson

Dear Weng,

First of all, as this deals Atmlab, please send future questions instead 
to atmlab_dev...@lists.uni-hamburg.de.


If r is constant, you only need to modify C.PND_FIELD{1} to make sure 
that the IWC at each pressure level fits with what you want. Including 
to set C.PND_FIELD{1} to zero wjhere IWC shall be 0.


If you change the position and/or thickness of the cloud, make sure that 
C.LIMITS cover the cloud layer(s) with some margin, particularly below it.


If the calculations involve several r, there should be one element in 
both C.SCAT_DATA and C.PND_FIELD for each r involved.


Please note that there has been some improvements of DOIT during the 
last years. These are only present in the v2.3 version. And I don't 
think all new features are covered by the standard functionality in 
Atmlab. I have no time to update Atmlab. So maybe you should consider 
using ARTS directly.


Regards,

Patrick

Dear All,

      Hello, sorry to bother you. I have one question about the 
simulation of inhomogeneous cloud using DOIT.


      There are two demos about scattering in Atmlab, 
qarts_mcdoit_demo.m and qarts_scattering_demo.m.Suppose the cloud is 
homogeneous, the ice water content at the top and the bottom of the 
cloud is same, scattering properties and particle number density are 
calculated by


C.SCAT_DATA{1} = mie_arts_scat_data( Q.F_GRID, T_grid, rfr_index, theta, 
r );


C.PND_FIELD{1} = box_pnd_mono_size_1d( alt, iwc, r );

Now if the cloud is inhomogeneous, the altitude isdivided into many 
grids, now I know the radius ‘r’ and ice water content ‘iwc’ at each 
grid. So, should I divide the inhomogeneous cloud into many homogeneous 
clouds? And how should I specify the altitude of the top and bottom of 
eachhomogeneous cloud?


     Best wishes!

yours,

Weng

[arts-users] question about the simulation of inhomogeneous cloud
