Hi, we recently stumbled over ARTS' strict HITRAN catalogue naming requirements (see m_abs.cc, l247-270).
first, these name requirements are not at all documented for the user (asche auch auf mein haupt...). should probably be added. furthermore, i think, this method at least needs an update (if not a more flexible solution): H2016 is long out and it's tedious for a user to have to rename that to 2012 to fit ARTS' requirements. Moreover, HITRAN is by default not the all-in-one file anymore (so an updated method to digest multiple HITRAN par files would be more user friendly) and is not named HITRAN16 or HITRAN2016 by default anymore (which makes our name-checking somewhat obsolete from H2016 on...). i might manage to make the simple if-clause extension for 'HITRAN2016' myself these days (just have the problem that my notebook basically died. maybe i can borrow and master someones *hard coughing* mac book...). however, the rest would need a bit more consideration, so I leave that to you. best wishes, Jana ps. from 1st May I will start to work for DWD (the german weather service/agency) on polarimetric weather radar modeling. so, RT again (or wave optics. i'm not fully sure yet :-/ ), no ARTS but maybe making use of the ARTS scattering database at some point, particularly when melting particles make their way into it (or even just non-spherical raindrops). -- ===================================================================== Jana Mendrok, Ph.D. (Geoscience) Email: jana.mend...@gmail.com Phone : +46 (0)708 860 729 ===================================================================== -- ===================================================================== Jana Mendrok, Ph.D. (Geoscience) Email: jana.mend...@gmail.com Phone : +46 (0)708 860 729 =====================================================================
