Hi Victoria, did you get any (offline) help yet?
I can't say anything on the qarts side. also, some of my ARTS knowledge is a bit rusty in the meanwhile. and it's been a while, too, since I implemented and used jacobianDoit. But let's see, whether I can be of some help... First, a cautionary note. I'm using current ARTS2.3 terminology unless otherwise noted. Some variables and methods have changed names somewhere along the way from 2.2 to current 2.3, which might lead to confusion when not being considered/checked. so you might have to look up, what I specifically refer to. This definitely is true for the scat_data/meta(_/single/array) variables (what now is scat_data, once was named scat_data_array. and what was scat_data then, now is scat_data_single! easy to mix up!)! Then, are you aware that there are newer methods to derive scattering/all-sky Jacobians (in the dev version, 2.3) that use the "normal" in-yCalc semi-analytical jacobian approach? check out jacobianAddScatSpecies and the example in controlfiles/artscomponents/wfuns/TestWfunsHybCloudy.arts (I see that in this controlfile, there is also still a - commented out - setup for the same Jac calculation using jacobianDoit. for comparison.). I'm fairly confident, that this approach can be used through a current qarts, since this approach was pushed for a lot by Patrick and I think, he makes (at least made) use of it through qarts. (I'm not sure, whether jacobianDoit can. Patrick might say more whether there might be an issue.). Your scat_meta problem might be an issue for either approach. Both approaches are, if I remember correctly, made with the assumption that you use one of the ARTS-internal size distribution (PSD) parametrizations. I think, we haven't considered the case that you just scale all scatt optical properties by a constant (equivalent to scale the PSD with a size-independent factor). Which should be the only exception when in the calculation of the Jacobians you wouldn't need access to the PSD. That is, in the Jacobian calculation the PSD is modified, which means we need size-binned scat_data AND we need "meta" info for these data (which particle size/mass does each specific scattering element represent?). (one could probably circumvent the size-binning requirement by constructing single-scatt-element hydrometeor species and using an arbitrary PSD parametrization as dummy. but I'm not sure, the PSD methods accept single-scatt-element species. if not, the easiest could be to add a specific method for "one element PSDs". Which, however, would still need a scat_meta since it needs to know how much mass that single element holds. However, you'd have to do that yourself; I don't have time for ARTS devs in the foreseeable future). That for the explanation, why this info is needed for running the Jacobian calculations. As for how to get the scat_meta into ARTS. The base rule is, scat_meta has to have the same internal structure as scat_data (nowadays being an ArrayOfArrayOfSingleScatteringData, that means same number of first level array elements - those correspond to the hydrometeor species considered - and same number of second-level array elements for each equivalent first level element - corresponding to the individual scattering elements for each hydrometeor species). This is guaranteed when you use the dedicated scat_data/meta read method (ScatSpeciesScatAndMetaRead). You can do that manually, too, using ReadXML, but need to be careful to create the correct 2-level array structure, which can be a bit tedious, I assume. In ARTS2.2 (and some earlier 2.3), the same base rule applies, but both variables are single-level array structures there, making the reading a bit easier. But you will need an additional index array that tells ARTS which scattering elements in scat_data (and scat_meta) belong to which hydrometeor species. Not sure anymore, what was its name (scat_species?) and how exactly that was supposed to get into ARTS consistently with scat_data and scat_meta. Checking out the jacobianDoit controlfile example in your ARTS version is the best way to find out, I think. That's as much as I can diagnose from my memory of ARTS and the online-accessible code & documentation. Hope it allows you to go on!
