At one point, I was running a version of the single scattering radar code
internally that used mc_antenna to sample a Gaussian beam. This could be
applied similarly to the independent pixel approximation for the passive
sensors, but the way I did it seemed very redundant. I never folded your
Dear Ian,
I also agree. In fact, I hope that we could use MC much more widely in some
future version of ARTS, perhaps all the way down to MC sampling individual
spectral lines.

Ian,
Thanks for the input. Great that you have stress-tested MC. Too bad that
it revealed a limitation.
Good suggestion about iyMC. Today it would not be possible to do the
random sampling from yCalc, it would require information on the sensor
not at hand inside yCalc today. But we are
Hi Stefan,
I have been contemplating changes to the MC codes. One thing we have found is
that MCGeneral breaks down when Q starts to get large. We see unrealistic
results at 684 GHz when using horizontally aligned particles with high aspect
ratio. Yuli Liu, who is working with us now, did
