Dear Eric, Nice to hear that you have long term plans around your retrievals and that they involve ARTS. Very good questions, for sure important information for ARTS users. 1.Will it be possible to continue using Qpack with the new release of ARTS and if yes, will it involve some major

Dear ARTS friends, It's time for a new ARTS workshop. The workshop will be similar to the old ones, but this time we have also something to celebrate. The ARTS project is approaching an age of 20 years! And if all goes well, we will announce ARTS-3 some time before the workshop. The

2019-04-05 Thread Patrick Eriksson
Hi, so, logrel and rel only make a difference in a (externally coupled) retrieval, e.g. with qpack, not with plain ARTS. is that correct? Yes. so, when I'd like to label a (logrel) O3 Jacobians plot, I could use K / 100% O3? or what would you suggest? Yes, that labeling looks OK,

2019-04-05 Thread Patrick Eriksson
Hi Jana, Are you just interested in the Jacobian or will you also perform retrievals (by Qpack?)? our main issue here is to understand what unit logrel(O3) implies. following Patrick's advice from the previous (wind) thread, I checked the AUG (and the correct one for that matter - cause

2019-04-03 Thread Patrick Eriksson
Hi Jana, Hi all, The definition of the winds do not change between 1D, 2D and 3D. That would at least lead to messy code. This is in fact a question of the azimuth angle of the sensor. There is also a north direction in 1D and the sensor is assumed to be looking exactly North for 1D. This

Dear Natalia, Yes, FASTEM is at hand, but it is a bit tricky to give a general answer. It depends on e.g. * Do you want to retrieve any surface properties? * Do you want to set specific wind speeds etc, or do you want to obtain wind speed etc. by interpolation from some data? Can you give

Hi Victoria, (I wrote this yesterday, but seems that the sending failed! Anyhow, here is an answer complementing Oliver's reply.) Not sure what you mean with retrieve. If you just want to export the data to files, easiest is to do the storing inside the agenda. For example: AgendaSet(

Dear WCS, These scattering data require that you are using v2.3. Could it be that you are using v2.2? If yes: I have not considered this situation, but it could be quite easy to convert the data to a version working with v2.2. However, I don't have time right now to check the details. Anyone
