cart2zaaa()

void cart2zaaa	(	Numeric &	za,
		Numeric &	aa,
		const Numeric &	dx,
		const Numeric &	dy,
		const Numeric &	dz
	)

cart2zaaa

Converts a cartesian directional vector to zenith and azimuth

This function and the sister function cart2zaaa handles transformation of line-of-sights. This in contrast to the sph/poslos functions that handles positions, or combinations of positions and line-of-sight.

The cartesian coordinate system used for these two functions can be defined as z : za = 0 x : za=90, aa=0 y : za=90, aa=90

Parameters

za	Out: LOS zenith angle at observation position.
aa	Out: LOS azimuth angle at observation position.
dx	x-part of LOS unit vector.
dy	y-part of LOS unit vector.
dz	z-part of LOS unit vector.

do_gridrange_1d

Calculates the geometrical path through a 1D grid range.

This function works as do_gridcell_2d, but is valid for 1D cases.

The coding of variables and end face is as for do_gridcell_2d, with the exception that end faces 2 and 4 do not exist here.

Parameters

r_v	Out: Vector with radius of found path points.
lat_v	Out: Vector with latitude of found path points.
za_v	Out: Vector with LOS zenith angle at found path points.
lstep	Out: Vector with length along the path between points.
endface	Out: Number coding for exit face.
r_start0	Radius of start point.
lat_start	Latitude of start point.
za_start	LOS zenith angle at start point.
ppc	Propagation path constant.
lmax	Maximum allowed length along the path. -1 = no limit.
ra	Radius of lower pressure level.
rb	Radius of upper pressure level (rb > ra);
rsurface	Radius for the surface.

is_los_downwards()

bool is_los_downwards	(	const Numeric &	za,
		const Numeric &	tilt
	)

is_los_downwards

Determines if a line-of-sight is downwards compared to the angular tilt of the surface or a pressure level.

For example, this function can be used to determine if the line-of-sight goes into the surface for a starting point exactly on the surface radius.

As the radius of the surface and pressure levels varies as a function of latitude, it is not clear if a zenith angle of 90 is above or below e.g. the surface.

Returns

Boolean that is true if LOS is downwards.

Parameters

za	Zenith angle of line-of-sight.
tilt	Angular tilt of the surface or the pressure level (as returned by plevel_angletilt)

map_daa()

void map_daa	(	Numeric &	za,
		Numeric &	aa,

	)

Maps MBLOCK_AA_GRID values to correct ZA and AA

Sensor LOS azimuth angles and mblock_aa_grid values can not be added in a straightforward way due to properties of the polar coordinate system used to define line-of-sights. This function performs a "mapping" ensuring that the pencil beam directions specified by mblock_za_grid and mblock_aa_grid form a rectangular grid (on the unit sphere) for any za.

za0 and aa0 match the angles of the ARTS WSV sensor_los. aa_grid shall hold values "close" to 0. The limit is here set to 5 degrees.

Parameters

za	Out: Zenith angle matching aa0+aa_grid
aa	Out: Azimuth angles matching aa0+aa_grid
za0	Zenith angle
aa0	Centre azimuth angle
aa_grid	MBLOCK_AA_GRID values

plevel_crossing_2d

Handles the crossing with a geometric ppaths step and a atmospheric grid box level for 2D.

That is, we have a part of a pressure level or the planet's surface, extending between two latitudes (lat1 and lat3). The radius at each latitude is given (r1 and r3). The function first of determines if the ppath crosses the level/surface between the two latitudes. If yes, the radius and the latitude of the crossing point are calculated.

If the given path point is on the pressure level (rp=r0), the solution of zero length is rejected.

Parameters

r	Out: Radius at crossing.
lat	Out: Latitude at crossing.
l	Out: Length between start and crossing points.
r_start0	In: Radius of start point.
lat_start	In: Latitude of start point.
za_start	In: LOS zenith angle at start point.

	)

plevel_slope_2d

Calculates the radial slope of the surface or a pressure level for 2D.

The radial slope is here the derivative of the radius with respect to the latitude. The unit is accordingly m/degree.

Note that the radius is defined to change linearly between grid points, and the slope is constant between to points of the latitude grid. The radius can inside the grid range be expressed as r = r0(lat0) + c1*(lat-lat0) .

Note also that the slope is always calculated with respect to increasing latitudes, independently of the zenith angle. The zenith angle is only used to determine which grid range that is of interest when the position is exactly on top of a grid point.

Parameters

c1	Out: The radial slope [m/degree]
lat_grid	The latitude grid.
refellipsoid	As the WSV with the same name.
z_surf	Geometrical altitude of the surface, or the pressure level of interest, for the latitide dimension
gp	Latitude grid position for the position of interest
za	LOS zenith angle.

Parameters

c1	Out: The radial slope [m/degree]
lat1	A latitude.
lat2	Another latitude.
r1	Radius at lat1.

plevel_slope_3d

Calculates the radial slope of the surface or a pressure level for 3D.

For 2D the radius can be expressed as r = r0 + c1*dalpha, where alpha is the latitude. The radius is here for 3D expressed as a second order polynomial: r = r0 + c1*dalpha + c2*dalpha^2, where alpha is the angular change (in degrees) along the great circle along the given azimuth angle.

ppath_start_stepping

Initiates a Ppath structure for calculation of a path with ppath_step.

The function performs two main tasks. As mentioned above, it initiates a Ppath structure (a), but it also checks that the end point of the path is at an allowed location (b).

(a): The Ppath structure is set to hold the position and LOS of the last point of the path inside the atmosphere. This point is either the sensor position, or the point where the path leaves the model atmosphere. If the path is totally outside the atmosphere, no point is put into the structure. If the (practical) end and start points are identical, such as when the sensor is inside the cloud box, the background field is set.

(b): If it is found that the end point of the path is at an illegal position a detailed error message is given. Not allowed cases are:

1. The sensor is placed below surface level.
   
2. For 2D and 3D, the path leaves the model atmosphere at a latitude or longitude end face.
   
3. For 2D and 3D, the path is totally outside the atmosphere and the latitude and longitude of the tangent point is outside the range of the corresponding grids.

All input variables are identical with the WSV with the same name. The output variable is here called ppath for simplicity, but is in fact ppath_step.

Parameters

ppath	Output: A Ppath structure.
atmosphere_dim	The atmospheric dimensionality.
p_grid	The pressure grid.
lat_grid	The latitude grid.
lon_grid	The longitude grid.
z_field	The field of geometrical altitudes.
refellipsoid	As the WSV with the same name.
z_surface	Surface altitude.
cloudbox_on	Flag to activate the cloud box.
cloudbox_limits	Index limits of the cloud box.
ppath_inside_cloudbox_do	As the WSV with the same name.

		ConstVectorView	z_field,
		ConstVectorView	refellipsoid,
		const Numeric &	z_surface,
		const Numeric &	lmax
	)

ppath_step_geom_1d

Calculates 1D geometrical propagation path steps.

This is the core function to determine 1D propagation path steps by pure geometrical calculations. Path points are included for crossings with the grids, tangent points and points of intersection with the surface. In addition, points are included in the propgation path to ensure that the distance along the path between the points does not exceed the selected maximum length (lmax). If lmax is <= 0, this means that no length criterion shall be applied.

Note that the input variables are here compressed to only hold data for a 1D atmosphere. For example, z_field is z_field(:,0,0).

For more information read the chapter on propagation paths in AUG.

Parameters

ppath	Output: A Ppath structure.
z_field	Geometrical altitudes corresponding to p_grid.
refellipsoid	As the WSV with the same name.
z_surface	Surface altitude.
lmax	Maximum allowed length between the path points.

resolve_lon()

void resolve_lon	(	Numeric &	lon,
		const Numeric &	lon5,
		const Numeric &	lon6
	)

resolve_lon

Resolves which longitude angle that shall be used.

Longitudes are allowed to vary between -360 and 360 degress, while the inverse trigonomtric functions returns values between -180 and 180. This function determines if the longitude shall be shifted -360 or +360 to fit the longitudes set by the user.

The argument lon as input is a value calculated by some inverse trigonometric function. The arguments lon5 and lon6 are the lower and upper limit for the probable range for lon. The longitude lon* will be shifted with -360 or +360 degrees if lon is significantly outside lon5 and lon6. No error is given if it is not possible to obtain a value between lon5 and lon6.

Parameters

lon	In/Out: Longitude, possible shifted when returned.
lon5	Lower limit of probable range for lon.
lon6	Upper limit of probable range for lon

rslope_crossing2d()

Numeric rslope_crossing2d	(	const Numeric &	rp,
		const Numeric &	za,
		const Numeric &	r0,
		Numeric	c1
	)

rslope_crossing2d

Calculates the angular distance to a crossing with a level having a radial slope.

The function solves the problem for a pressure level, or the planet's surface, where the radius changes linearly as a function of angle. No analytical solution to the original problem has been found. The problem involves sine and cosine of the latitude difference and these functions are replaced with their Taylor expansions where the two first terms are kept. This should be OK for most practical situations (the accuracy should be sufficient for values up to 1 degree?).

The problem and its solution is further described in AUG. See the chapter on propagation paths. The variable names below are the same as in AUG.

Both positive and negative zenith angles are handled.

The function only looks for crossings in the forward direction of the given zenith angle.

If the given path point is on the pressure level (rp=r0), the solution 0 is rejected. The latitude difference is set to 999 if no crossing exists.

The cases c=0, za=0 and za=180 are not allowed.

Returns

The angular distance to the crossing.

Parameters

rp	Radius of a point of the path inside the grid cell
za	Zenith angle of the path at rp.
r0	Radius of the pressure level or the surface at the latitude of rp.
c1	Linear slope term, as returned by plevel_slope_2d.

zaaa2cart()

void zaaa2cart	(	Numeric &	dx,
		Numeric &	dy,
		Numeric &	dz,
		const Numeric &	za,
		const Numeric &	aa
	)

zaaa2cart

Converts zenith and azimuth angles to a cartesian unit vector.

This function and the sister function cart2zaaa handles transformation of line-of-sights. This in contrast to the sph/poslos functions that handles positions, or combinations of positions and line-of-sight.

The cartesian coordinate system used for these two functions can be defined as z : za = 0 x : za=90, aa=0 y : za=90, aa=90

Parameters

dx	Out: x-part of LOS unit vector.
dy	Out: y-part of LOS unit vector.
dz	Out: z-part of LOS unit vector.
za	LOS zenith angle at observation position.
aa	LOS azimuth angle at observation position.
